I would create and use a new PM Profile during testing, exit Pale Moon completely, restart it from a Command prompt (or Win key + R) to the Profile Manager : "C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" -p

(^^- this is for the default x64 PM location, x86 PM on 64-bit Windows would be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" -p, default for 32-bit Windows is "C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" -p)

Once the new Profile is tested and working as required, the old Profile can be removed.

You might want to study this for Adblock and PM: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6732 ABL is a version modified to work with PM (I'm currently using uBlock, having spent a year or so without any ad blocking loaded in the browser).

Thank you, Andy!  I had been using Adblock Latitude but was noticing it was using a lot of memory.  I kept the default uBlock settings which is what I had been using with Adblock, yet, uBlock is using ~30% less memory than Adblock.

For those of us who are already using Mbam Pro's web blocking and/or a good hosts file, we're already covering a large majority of the blocks added by uBlock/AdBlock anyway, even though it looks like the extension is blocking a lot, it might be blocking a lot less than Mbam Pro/hosts is - and Mbam covers all browsers (all software connections in the case of the hosts file), not just the browser(s) it's installed in.
