Pale Moon Portable

Unread post by tinitus » 2024-10-28, 14:44

Hello,

I want to use Pale Moon Portable to use a older Webcam with NPAPI Plugin on Windows 10/11.

My Questions are:
Which Version of Pale Moon should I use?

How can I install the Plugin to the Portable Version?

Can I copy this from a older Firefox installation?

NPAPI Plugins are not usually "installed" in the browser. You just need to install the program the uses/implements them. If they are correctly installed/registered in Windows and compatible with Pale Moon, they will be detected and used. Check the Add-ons Manager.

If the plugin is 32-bit, you will have to download the 32-bit Pale Moon portable.

As mentioned, plugins are usually not located in the browser's installation folder. If that's the case however, I doubt a simple copy operation from Firefox would be enough.

Another thing you need to be aware of is that the mainline versions of Pale Moon only work on AVX capable computers. If your computer doesn't support AVX, you need to use a 3rd-party SSE2 build (link here).
