Night Wing,
I think I've been in luck ever since you picked up my cry for help!
Thank you for your further advice and encouragement.
Still following your instructions, I may be a little closer. I now get a response when I click on the Pale Moon icon - "There was an error launching the application".
When I click on the Properties of the Launcher box, I see:
Name Pale Moon
Description
Command /home/gam/Desktop/palemoon
Comment
Type desktop configuration file (application/x-desktop)
Size 210 bytes (210 bytes)
Does that seem OK? Nothing missing to make Pale Moon execute?
I'll see what you say. I cannot find the Launcher box in step 3. I'm feeling tempted by the Terminal method!
Will Pale Moon be in the Ubuntu software manager eventually?

Re: Will Pale Moon be in the Ubuntu software manager eventua
I don't mean to step on Night Wing's toes here, being one of his biggest fans for straightforward, no-nonsense candor, but have you tried using the installer available on the Pale Moon for Linux home page? The latest is pminstaller-0.1.5.tar.bz2 (98.7 kB). It makes the installation process relatively painless compared to what you appear to be struggling with and as far as I recall (a week ago) you're never obliged to interact with the Terminal from start to finished installation. Access2godzilla even produced a video demo a few versions back that you can stop / start at critical stages to review each step in the process.
Joe is too modest in his self-proclaimed non-technical user credential status, but in this case I think he's created an unnecessary hurdle while being true to his words. Take a look at it again and tell me I'm wrong

@MGA74
Try CraigPH's suggestion of using the Pale Moon installer which he has the link to (it's highlighted in blue color) in his message. The YouTube video he mentioned is the one below.

I think the slight difference between MATE and XFCE is what is causing you some problems getting linux Pale Moon up and running.

You're not stepping on my toes. Please feel free to help MGA74 in any way you can so he can get linux Pale Moon up and running in Mint with his MATE desktop environment.CraigPD wrote:I don't mean to step on Night Wing's toes here

CraigPH and Night Wing,
I took your advice to try the Pale Moon installer and I am now up and running in Mint MATE. Success!!
For anyone else thinking of trying - go ahead but do watch the video several times before you start. There are a couple of places where things seem to happen quickly.
I would like to thank you both for your help and encouragement - it made an enormous difference.
When I have a little more time I will have another look at getting the Pale Moon icon displayed and if I succeed I will report back here.
