Anyway, I've been launching Pale Moon using the executable file from the extracted tarball. Doing it this way does not make a menu entry or puts the blue colored Pale Moon icon into the Panel taskbar.
Today on the linux SolydXK forum site, a nice person (by the user name of "Wayne") gave me instructions on how to put the blue colored Pale Moon icon launcher on the Panel taskbar in SolydX without using the linux Terminal.
These instructions are for the XFCE desktop environment of SolydX. These instructions worked and as an added bonus, I was able to use these exact same instructions to do the same thing for Mint 16 (XFCE). The instructions are below.
Hi Night_Wing,
Just do it step by step.
I shall type all steps here in XFCE.
1. Right Click Applications Menu > Panel > Add New Items...
2. On the pop up windows, left-click Launcher, then move cursor down to left-click Add
you should see a launcher icon ( i called it 'new icon') appear on Panel.
the 'new icon' may be only a box with a red cross.
3. Right-click the 'new icon' > Properties,
you should now see a popup windows that is in the image on top-left hand side of
the linked image http://oi61.tinypic.com/28bz0ja.jpg
Its title is Launcher
two tabs: General, Advanced
Right-hand side, a vertical row of icons. Hover your mouse over them and read them, similar to these meaning:
Up, Down, Add an existing item, add a new empty item , delete an entry,
4. Mouse to the icon which says 'add a new empty item'. Left-click it, it will popup a 'Create Launcher' window that looks like bottom-left hand side of the linked image http://oi61.tinypic.com/28bz0ja.jpg
5. Type in Name...as you wish, I put palemoon
6. Type in Comment as you wish, I put browser
7. On the command, click its right-hand-side icon, browse to your 'palemoon directory' and click the 'palemoon' icon in that directory
8. Now the icon, you can choose anything that is available, but I find the official palemoon icon as follows:
Left-click the 'no-icon' on Icon
On Select an Icon popup window, click Select Icon from (Hit Application icon... then scroll down to select 'Image file'.
Navigate on the left-hand-panel and central panel with clicking to your palemoon directory.
Palemoon icon is mozico128.png and it is in the directory /palemoon/browser/icons
as I captured in the linked image

Click 'OK' after selecting the icon, the Select an icon windows will close
On 'create launcher' window, click 'create'
the windows will close
At this point you should see the 'new icon' on panel will change to palemoon icon. You can always use Edit later on to change the icon to something else if you like.
9. Finally move the newly created icon to your desired location. Hope these help
I've made an installer, you can get it here:
