I'm sorry, can you rephrase that? Use some punctuation as well?
I have no idea what your question is :)

Ok I will try now that I am at a keyboard rather than a touch screen. On my Dad's pc I have to use Palemoon 3.6.27 as if I try to use any later versions they will not work. What was puzzling me was the fact that Firefox 8 works without any problem and I thought that Palemoon was a mod of Firefox . It's not actually a problem as I enjoy Palemoon 3.6.27 just wondering why one works and the other doesn't

It's the optimizations. Mozilla still makes Firefox available to old hardware as well as to new.
