Pale Moon 24.3.0 out with huge improvements

[G73S]

to fully benefit, it is best to uninstall any current version and delete all data

then check the

C: \Users\FluffyUser\AppData\Local\Moonchild Productions

and

C: \Users\FluffyUser\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions

and make sure they are CLEAR or you have no Moon Child folder altogether

Then install the new version. I know it's a hassle, but the benefits are huge such as better font rendering and hardware acceleration

Now they also have a build especially for Intel Atom CPU netbooks which are optimized for those CPUs

Change Log:

[FONT=&quot]24.3.0 (2014-01-28)[/FONT]

A fairly significant update with feature updates, bugfixes, and security fixes.

Changes and bugfixes:

• [FONT=&quot]New build: Atom-optimized Pale Moon[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  After some thorough testing, the Atom/netbook builds are being released as final. These builds are specifically made for PCs with Intel Atom processors. More information can be found on the Atom builds page.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]New feature: the title has been brought back to the title bar [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  When using the Application Menu (Pale Moon button), the title bar of the browser window would be blank. Considering this is wasted space, the page title will now be displayed in the title bar again (it's called a title bar for a reason, after all!). Several different styles have been implemented to cater to different OS version layouts.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Removal of the services tab in the Add-on Manager[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  It will be visible only if someone actually has a service extension installed (similar to how language packs work)[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Improvement of UI consistency[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  Removal of illogical selective hiding of the navigation bar and toolbars when in tabs-on-top mode (Add-ons manager, permissions manager, etc.). Browser chrome will now never be hidden.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Bugfix: When using the classic downloads window, downloads in private windows were not shown[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  If you use the classic downloads window and would open a Private Browsing (PB) window, there was no easy way to see which downloads were done in the PB window. When checking the downloads, it would open up the (non-PB) classic downloads window which does not have downloads listed from the PB session. This has been fixed, and PB windows will now open a new tab in the PB window with the downloads from that private session.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Bugfix: Geolocation didn't work in Pale Moon[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
  This was caused by the Firefox standard geolocation provider (Google Inc.) now requiring an API key to request geolocation coordinates. Only official Mozilla Firefox builds will have working geolocation from Google.
  Pale Moon has switched provider to IP-API.com to address this issue, with the required re-write of code for the different type of request. More information on the forum.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Bugfix: The "More information" link for blocked add-ons didn't work[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Bugfix: Certain scaled fonts would have malformed letters
  [/FONT][FONT=&quot]On Vista and later with hardware acceleration enabled, certain letters of some font families would become malformed and difficult to read because of a Direct2D scaling issue. These fonts should now render sharp and more legibly.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]Romanian has been added to the status bar localizations[/FONT]

Bugfixes ported over:

• [FONT=&quot]Bug 903274 - Have the search bar binding's initialization callback bail out if the binding is destroyed.[/FONT]

Pale Moon for Atom info:

[FONT=&quot]This version of Pale Moon is optimized specifically for use on Intel Atom™ processors.
Many low-powered netbooks and laptops are equipped with this processor, and using a build of Pale Moon specifically optimized for this processor will reduce power consumption and increase speed of the browser for these systems.

Please note the following:[/FONT]

• [FONT=&quot]These builds are specifically optimized for Intel Atom™ processors, and are not recommended for regular Intel or AMD processors. The extra optimizations only work on Atom processors and will execute significantly slower than the normal version of Pale Moon on a non-Atom processor.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]These builds are otherwise exactly the same as the normal desktop version of Pale Moon, built from the same source code. No other changes are made to the browser.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]This version of the browser is only available in 32-bit (x86). Please don't ask for a 64-bit version as it's simply not possible.[/FONT]
• [FONT=&quot]This version is in early stages of release, and currently does not include an automatic/internal updater, to prevent the Atom-optimized binaries from being replaced with generic ones when updating. Please make sure to check regularly for browser updates, and update the browser manually with the installer.[/FONT]
