I ran across this UK site reviewing the recent FF ver. 36 upgrade. it wasn't all that interesting until I clicked on the comments at the end. There are 24 of them. the 22nd one down mentions pale moon. I got a kick out of most of the comments as well.

Re: Interesting review of FF 36- and comments
Since I'm looking at the sec bugs now, I can say that a fairly large number of the critical bugs mentioned (e.g. the MP4 one) are not even present in Pale Moon, to begin with
A number of them seem to be caused by removal of previously-in-place sanity checks as part of their "refactoring of code", opening up new bugs while shuffling things around without knowing exactly what every line does and why it's there.
I can't share details, I'm afraid, but suffice it to say that of the rather long list of security advisories in FF36, very few apply to Pale Moon. They do, however, point out some areas where I have been able to add some defense-in-depth (aka "just in case it becomes a problem with future code changes") as a result.

FF 36 is the reason why I switched to Pale Moon.
I do not need Chat, SMS, MMS, share Videos or tabs to other; also I do *not* need spyware as loop-service, app-service, geolocation, data- and healthreporting and more.
in my further opinion FF36-Users will get soon security Problems if they did not block the connection from "Hello".
Thanks a lot for Pale Moon! Mozilla at its best
