Actually, if someone has a problem with Pale Moon because of something it either doesn't do, or does in a way that someone isn't happy with and someone else suggests SeaMonkey as a workable alternative, believe it or not I'd actually be fine with that. The Pale Moon homepage readily admits that PM is not a solution for everyone (the lack of parental controls being a prime example). In which case, the PM site admits that Firefox might be a better fit for people in this situation.
1. Don't you EVER dare to quote me again and strip out my name. I've been reasonable up until now but this is just childish and lazy.
2. You really just don't get it do you? The whole reason the mods and everyone else is SICK of hearing about PaleMoon is because fanbois like yourself have no sense of when it is appropriate to recommend migrating to PaleMoon. Someone doesn't like tabs on top? PaleMoon. Someone misses the addons bar? PaleMoon. Someone misses an extension that no longer works? PaleMoon. Toolbar color is too blue? PaleMoon. Seriously, I've seen people offering PaleMoon as a solution to problems that don't even EXIST like the "missing" menubar. That's wreckless and stupid.
3. You and most of your ilk have absolutely NO CLUE what the limitations and issues are with this, while most of in this conversation actually do. Eventually MoonChild is going to HAVE to change the GUID and when that happens every PaleMoon user is going to wake up to every extension they use being disabled. That isn't FUD. It's reality and he admits to it himself in your back-handed PaleMoon forum attack post that Frank dug up. The fact that most 3rd party build "forks" die out after a few years is also not FUD, it's a fact. We've seen literally dozens of them here, with the users always excited about how their favorite build is so much superior to Firefox. And now they are gone. And somewhere, some poor mom is using that last version of the Orca Browser that her fanboi son installed on her computer when he was visiting from college. Because when a weird off-shoot build dies there is no update mechanism to get you back to a stable secure browser. Giving out advice as if it's free candy without understanding the ramifications of that advice is utterly irresponsible.
