Pale Moon has been updated to Version 27.1. The update is a major development update. Also included are bug fixes as well as security and privacy updates. Many of the security updates are DiD* patches.
Of note: Version 27.1 introduces the so-called "PMkit" modules, Pale Moon's effort to restore most compatibility with Firefox Jetpack/SDK extensions and making it possible for extension developers to convert their Firefox SDK extensions with little effort to a Pale Moon compatible format.
*DiD stands for "Defense-in-Depth" and is a fix that does not apply to an actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem.
Release Notes (http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml)
Thanks. I haven't been brave enough to install v 27. I'm running the portable version but I just updated it.
Unfortunately, even with their efforts to make compatible addons, many of mine still are not available, so I stay away from version 27. And don't ask me about alternatives because I checked, there are none. >:( :o :( ::)
darksurfer, I installed CyberFox.
I discovered yesterday to update it, I need .NET 4. Unfortunately, I do not and won't install anything higher than .NET 3.5 SP1 on three of the 4 Win 7 computers in the house.
I'm able to install the addons I use in Cyberfox.
Perhaps try the portable version to see if your addons work.

There is a 32 bit version for Intel and AMD and a 64 bit version for Intel and AMD. I had installed a 32 bit AMD version and a 64 bit Intel version. I was fine with those until I discovered I can't update one of the browsers so I used Revo to uninstall it.
This is a small bugfix and stability update to the browser.
Changes/Fixes:
- Implemented a fix in media handling to prevent crashes with concurrent videos and/or rapidly starting/stopping video playback in the browser.
- Fixed the way the Adobe Flash plugin is detected to prevent confusion with other plugins that identify themselves as "Flash" (e.g. VLC).
- Windows: Solved stability issues caused by the release build process, resulting in unexpected behavior (e.g. hangups).
Pale Moon updated to 27.1.2! (https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15007&sid=3f4e25b1631363641b4abb55233efff3):
QuotePale Moon has been updated to 27.1.2, a minor update with a single workaround fix that should prevent hangs for some users on sites with many media elements (e.g. Facebook, YouTube, etc.).
This is a workaround; we are still working on providing a more proper fix to this issue rooted in Mozilla code.
