Pale Moon forum

the browser falls apart after a few minutes of browsing

Could you be more specific?
What version of Mint, how did you install the browser, what is "fall apart"?

Several members here (myself included) have been using Pale Moon on Mint 17/18 for quite a while now without issue.

My wife uses Pale Moon daily on her Linux Mint box. Please elaborate on what "fall apart" means.

I've been using 64 bit linux Pale Moon since it was publicly released in January of 2014 and I've never had a problem using linux Pale Moon running in 64 bit linux Mint.

I started using linux Pale Moon running in linux Mint 14.0 back in December of 2012 and I'm currently using 64 bit linux Pale Moon 27.7.2 runnnng in 64 bit linux Mint 18.3 with the Xfce desktop environment.

It's a laptop Iqon GUS01
It is 32 bit system
I have attached a picture with the OS details and one with the screen when the Pale Moon crashes

Looks like your quite low on ram there,just under 1gb left.So i think more ram may be useful,

That's the total available - not remaining. Definitely needs another GB of RAM or another DE as XFCE is advisable.

As said above you should try Xfce (and/or upgrade RAM if that's an option); 1gb of RAM is very low by today's standards/demands.
Your CPU is also of another age.

The system requirements for Linux Mint 18.3 KDE are a minimum of 2GB of RAM, so yes you either need more RAM or switch to a lighter DE.

KDE is the most resource heavy DE ever...i would use xfce.

I agree that KDE Plasma is a very graphics-heavy DE, and in my opinion, Trinity ("core" or "base" package) + Qt5ct + Trinity's GTK support package (I forgot what the package name is) + qt4-qtconfig + whatever KDE applications one needs = a lighter alternative to KDE Plasma, although some notable downsides would be that one wouldn't be able to use different KDE activities, fancy KWin effects, and certain KDE features, plus having 2 separate "System Settings".
Unfortunately, that is the closest thing to KDE themselves forking some components of their 3.5 codebase to create a "KDE Flashback" or "KDE Classic" desktop.
