Easter Egg for Halloween in Pale Moon.

I don't know if it makes any sense (my statement), but the Easter Egg turned out great.

Yeah, I love it. I got the final 32.5.0 build before its official release 2 days ago and I haven't caught that easter egg during my own testing! :lol:

I think I saw it before the official release. Won't spoil it, but I will say if it's what I think it is, I saw it while testing some code I was contributing against the master branch.

I never found the "egg". Looked all over for it even in the Customize Toolbar. I keep my Navigation Toolbar hidden, but I looked in there for it also.

I wonder if using Linux Mint 21.2/MX Linux 23.1 and/or the Moonscape theme I use for both linux distros had something to do with it.

Since it's now Nov 2nd, I'll just tell you where to look (as it won't be active for much longer). Check the About box.

Thanks! Nice looking Moon face. Reminds me of a carved pumpkin face. Nice color too.

Ah, I guess now I can say I was looking at the about box while working on the transparent WebM thing to verify which version I was running.... I guess that means I found it.

Nice to have confirmation that what I saw was indeed the easter egg, and that it wasn't some kind of well-established Halloween decoration thing that's done every year, while the easter egg was something a lot more buried that most people won't think to look for.

Well I did say it was a tiny egg, meaning nothing elaborate, and no, I didn't add it until this year since the release was actually on the 31st this time. It will remain going forward every year though (only active when relevant for the season).

You could temporarily set your system date back if you really want to see it ;)
