Example: https://pale-moon.en.uptodown.com/windows/download
As of the time of this post this sites download button links to the PMv30.0.1 download.
In this case I sent this message to them:
Please change the Pale Moon download link from v30.0.1release (v30 releases have been rolled-back) to the currently correct 29.4.5.1 release. (leaving the link "as is" will not appropriately serve your user base) Please refer to this link for details: https://www.palemoon.org/ - specifically the reference to (under "Top news"): "21 march 2022 Pale Moon 30 rollout cancelled. Following severe issues with the unexpected exit of a core dev and considerable damage caused to our operations, the milestone 30 rollout has been cancelled".
Thank you
Presumably we should (when applicable) request sites change their PM download link to the roll-back release

I immediately contacted our official mirrors but obviously can't control any of the hundreds of "download portals".
This is why a recall tends to be avoided if at all possible.

yea - recalls can cause all kinds of distressing consequences.
The Download site (Uptodown) notified me they have already updated their download app: Quick response! (confirmed: their download is now "Pale Moon 29.4.5.1")
