Hello Palemoon users

despite I am using Palemoon for years, I suddenly lost a chance to update Palemoon anymore in near past. Since 33.1.1 the system is ignoring any new module downloaded from default server, Palemoon icon is not in start menu and despite being visible and activated in Modules, it is not possible to start this new version of browser even by context menu over html file.

Return to 33.1 always works, it is possibe to start this one.

I was hoping for a while some new version will be running again, but...nope.

Thanks for any tips how to see any new Palemoon version started.

In the application menu there is "Help", in the help menu is "Troubleshooting information..." -- select that in your 33.1 or 33.2 version, and check "CPU capabilities". If that does not list AVX, then your processor is too old to run the latest version of Pale Moon. This change was announced through all channels.
(That is also, by the way, what was asked for to paste in your post -- via the copy text to clipboard function on that troubleshooting information page).

If your CPU does not support AVX, you should use the SSE2 community build instead of our main binaries. Check recent forum posts/do a search on the forum to find the relevant topic and download links.
