Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
There seems to be no release of the PM 25 beta for Linux, so I compiled it for myself and am sharing the archives in the hope that it will be useful:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/trm1zgrf3dj2x/palemoon
I'm impressed with the release, and at present I am converting some of my extensions so that they can be used with Pale Moon. A minor complain though: it would be preferable to have bottom half of the logo exposed at the top right of pages like about:newtab, about:privatebrowsing etc. instead of having about:logopage (which does not serve any useful purpose IMO).

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
@access2godzilla: Thank you for sharing! My Linux system got messed up a while ago, but I will fix it this week, so I can do some testing with your build!
Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
I just downloaded your build, all is well, all extensions were seen and used, all bookmarks are there.
It even seems to browse.
Thanks so much.

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
I also downloaded the code and replaced the /opt/palemoon folder with the 25 beta folder, but I ran into one problem. The icon for "Yes Script 2.0" disappeared. When I went back to 24.7.2(x64) version, the icon reappeared. Since I need that icon, I have to stay with 24.7.2(x64).
Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
Please understand that PM 25 uses a new GUID and may show incompatibilities with Firefox extensions.
You need to unpack extension XPIs and replace all instances of the Firefox GUID with Pale Moon's GUID and also possibly increment em:(max|min)version values for FF extensions to work.

I'm not the maintainer of the Linux version! cyansmoker has taken it up for some time now. (A version should be released soon enough.)mapurite wrote:access2godzilla please update linux version!!
Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
I've been wondering about 25 for Linux. Happy to see this.

Maybe you can build this release if cyansmoker is unavailable for some reason?

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
With the irritations going on with Windows Pale Moon 25 and add-ons, the same irritations will likely be happening with linux Pale Moon 25 and add-ons. With that said, I see no hurry for a linux Pale Moon 25 at this time because this will be like "a battle being waged on two separate fronts" if you get my drift.
And I'm one who uses linux Pale Moon 24.7.2 who doesn't mind "waiting".

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
When is the palemoon 25 released for linux?
A big SECURITY Vulnerability is since 15 days known! I mean the nss issue!! It is negligence to let the Pale Moon browser for so long time with this BIG SECURITY VULNERABILITY. Since this time i dont logged in my ebanking-page and waiting for the security update. The updates for security fixes should be provided very faster.
Sorry for my total stupid english!
Please dont be angry for my criticism!
Thank you for your work!

If there is no movement in a few days, I will. I have a lot on my plate already.access2godzilla wrote:@Moonchild:

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
As one who uses PM4Linux almost exclusively, I add my vote to the 'one who uses linux Pale Moon 24.7.2 who doesn't mind "waiting"' side of this issue.Night Wing wrote: ...

I.e., there's several broken extensions on the list at the moment that I need to be working before the move to PM 25 at this point would be possible.

Re: Pale Moon 25 beta for Linux
If you absolutely can't wait for the linux security update, then you have two logical choices.Privacy wrote:When it is done? A total dangerous security vulnerability is in palemoon 24.7.2!! I'm going to be sick!
1) Use a second linux browser which is already patched for the vulnerability as a backup for linux Pale Moon.
2) To keep from getting a heart attack over this vulnerability you're fixated on, have a heart doctor prescribe a drug for you named, digitalis.
As for me, I go to the same websites everyday and I seriously doubt they will be targeted by this vulnerability.
