Download Pale Moon 4.0.5

Pale Moon has been updated to version 4.0.5. This web browser uses the source code of Mozilla Firefox, but is optimized for modern hardware. The Windows version of Mozilla Firefox is developed with the greatest possible compatibility in mind. Partly due to concessions to older hardware, the browser is not as fast as it could be, according to Pale Moon creator Moonchild Productions.

Pale Moon is functionally almost identical to Mozilla Firefox, but does not support older processors. Some things have also been omitted, including ‘Accessibility features’ and ‘Parental controls’. The result is a browser that could be up to 25 percent better to perform. More information about the program can here are being found. The program uses its own profile folder and does not share it with Firefox, making it possible to use the two side by side. Pale Moon 4.0 is based on the Mozilla Firefox 4.0 source code and of course has all the extras that we also know from the Pale Moon 3.6 series. Version 4.0.5 includes a handful of improvements and a new program icon.

A number of fixes and a cosmetic update:

• Performance fix: JavaScript performance improved.
• Crash fix: Prevent crashes in optimized builds of JS due to 20110410-CCBug.
• Updater fix: Internal updater should function again from this version onward.
• Add-ons window shows the proper add-ons page when loading it.
• Shell integration fixed for Vista and 7: The browser should no longer complain that it’s not the default program when it, in fact, is. see bug 20110408-SHBug.
• Main Pale Moon program icon updated with a higher-res version of the logo image.
