Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP (32 and 64 bit)
This is all rather moot at the moment since although all but one of my 30+ extensions seem to install OK, many of them don't work, presumably in many cases because of the new GUID. Unless there is a major effort to produce Palemoon versions for the large number of available Firefox extensions, I suspect the incompatibility between PM25 and existing extensions will prove a major disincentive against using PM25.

As for the effort you mentioned.. It is already underway.. Trust me.. I am the one leading it

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP (32 and 64 bit)
That was my bad - I forgot to exclude the update check of an already-upgraded Atom version 25 on Win XP from the "exception logic" that is supposed to inform people of the end of XP support when upgrading from an earlier version (instead of serving them a non-working update). This should now be fixed (server-side).Davesnothere wrote:Furthermore, strangely, and possibly related, the Portable Atom 32-bit version of the mainstream PM 25 release offers an upgrade to what APPEARS to be 'Pale Moon for Windows XP', but when I try to follow thru, I get an error dialogue.

It now says 'Up to Date'.
Thanks, and BTW, the patched ABP extension seems to work properly too.
That one was a biggie for some of us.

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP (32 and 64 bit)
Here's another tangent....
I know that PM has a page listing the problem extensions as they are discovered, and a forum thread for the same purpose.
Is there a PM site web page (and forum thread) formally listing the ones which HAVE been confirmed to work OK as is ?

I was one click away.
DSLR forums (where I hang a lot) are structured differently, and you cannot see any threads until you are actually IN the appropriate forum, so I got fooled.
Pale Moon for Windows XP vs Atom Build
.
I hope that this question is sufficiently on-topic. - If not, we could begin a new thread.
I am currently testing the Atom-Optimized 32-bit Portable build of PM 25.0.2 on a PC which has both XP and an Atom CPU.
Will I see optimal performance and functions with THAT build on this PC, or should I be trying the 'Pale Moon for Windows XP' build (in my case 32-bit) which is being offered here ?
My PC seems to meet the system requirements of both editions.
And, will there be any Portable builds released of 'Pale Moon for Windows XP' ?
Thanks.
EDITED to indicate 25.0.2 instead of 25.0 - even though it came out after I originally made this post.

I believe you'd get the best performance by what you are currently using.Davesnothere wrote:

However, Moonchild & Tobin would be the real experts who'd known, so let's see what they say.

I can understand Moonlight's motives for dropping it, but Windows XP is still the second/third most used desktop OS version worldwide.
Kudos to you, Tobin!

In China, XP was easily pirated and secondly, the Chinese government has banned the use of Windows (8/8.1).

Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP (32 and 64 bit)
So I have heard. I cannot confirm since the stats by country on the link you provided are for paying users only and that information is not available anywhere in such details (could be Microsoft FUD...)Night Wing wrote: A large percentage of the now 23.87% desktop market share for XP comes from China.
Nevertheless since China is located on this planet it still counts for the worlwide usage

Well done and thank you, Tobin!
Re: Pale Moon for Windows XP (32 and 64 bit)
Some jetpack style add-ons should be automagically fixed by this update as well! Also good to know the internal updater is working outside of my system (you never know )

Yes, China is also the only country in the world accounting for more than 10% IE6 usage. They probably have very little Pale Moon coverage.Pedro wrote:Nevertheless since China is located on this planet it still counts for the worlwide usage
