You're not on XP if that pops up.
You didn't lose anything, but Pale Moon 26 won't run on POSReady2009

So i guess..since this is the best browser I have
ever used/seen or have the pleasure using
How do I safely get back to 'Pale Moon 25.0'? with extension and favs I can live with that for now
or someone donate some cash for a new PC :)

You have likely hacked your XP to get updates after Windows XP's end-of-life date.
There's nothing wrong with Pale Moon, but 26.0 and later will not run on POSReady2009 and hacked XP versions that pretend they are POSReady2009.
