Great!!
Just one question: any chance to get in a future release of Pale Moon support for Kaspersky Internet Security plugins, such as in FF or Chrome?

Pale Moon support for Kaspersky Internet Security plugins
Kaspersky Labs are the ones who have to make their plugins recognize and work with Pale Moon.

Oh, I understand...
Is it not possible to make Pale Moon same as Firefox about Kaspersky plugins compatibility?
For example, at the moment I'm waiting for Pale Moon 7 (Pale Moon is my default browser since long time) and I'm using Comodo Dragon - based on Chrome, but much lighter on resources (similar to Pale Moon/FF) and Kaspersky plugins work with no problem, as well as in Chrome.
Is it not possible to make something similar with Pale Moon?
P.S.:Well, I know that if it was possible probably it was already done; just curious...

Plugin compatibility
is already the same as Firefox. In most cases it boils down to a third-party installer (.exe) not knowing where Pale Moon keeps its profiles and therefore doesn't put the .xpi where it is supposed to be for Pale Moon to pick it up. If you have the .xpi stored somewhere, then it's quite possible you can install it by simply opening it in Pale Moon (from the file menu), or you could try copying it to the extensions\ folder under your profile folder.

Not sure I understood which .xpi you are talking about...A kaspersky one? There is no .xpi in any Kaspersky folder.
There are 2 folder called ChromeExt and FFExt; mostly of the file inside are .dll, .xpt or .rdf. But all this files are named with the browser prefix- for example: ffvkplugin.dll (virtual keyboard plugin for FF). I think perhaps all this files shoul be renamed to be recognised by Pale Moon - not all files with firefox or ff in the name work with Pale Moon -?

Well if they don't supply an .xpi, then only Kaspersky knows how to install the plugin manually. Ask them?
