optimized Firefox browser Pale Moon is a Firefox clone that has been optimized for for Windows Operating Systems with current, high performance processors. It looks identical to the standard Firefox browser and supports Firefox extensions, themes and identities. All your existing extensions, bookmarks and settings are imported during the installation, so, except for the logo, you won`t notice any difference in functionality. What you may notice however is a difference in speed due to the optimized code which will results in faster scripting and page rendering as well as (slightly) lower memory consumptions. Pale Moon is based on the Firefox source and offers the same levels of security. The program supports most Firefox features with the exception of accessibility features and parental control features which have been disabled for performance reasons.

Any speed difference really ? 3 stars by armaggedon51 May 22, 2012 (Read all my 7 reviews)
I have tried both PM and Firefox 12 and sincerely I cannot see any difference in speed. While technically, PM should be faster according to the developers, I don't see any benefit. It is however not bad and fully compatible with FF data and extensions. That said, I see no reason to switch from FF which seems to be updated more rapidly.(Btw, FF can also be tweaked for faster network/internet access for people with broadband) showShow review details
Much needed! 5 stars by manicburp Feb 16, 2012
After a moz product I loved went rapidly downhill with version three and above I really missed it. I tried many browsers based upon the gecko engine then I found Pale Moon :) Excellent in every way, when they say it is faster and more stable it is true, I am so glad to have found it! I am still very cautious what add-ons I have installed and a few leak and cause crashes so this with minimal add-ons goes like lightening and I have never had any problems with it so far. I recommend it highly. showShow review details
Oh so much speedier! 5 stars by claudchu51 Dec 21, 2011
Frustrated by ever slower FF (yet every time I try to upgrade from 3.6 + version installation crashes), I've been recreating multiple browsers to protect myself against the day when FF won't work at all for me. This little alternative is wonderful. It is the fastest of any of the others I've used, very stable, and still downloads the FF addons I love. I'm using PM 3.6.28 v. on Vista and if I remain as impressed as I am now I will make it my default browser. Recommended for older Windows systems that can't take FF's attempts to be cutting edge. Take that FF! showShow review details
