Thanks for the heads up. Has anyone tried it yet? Is it still compatible with your extensions?

Thanks, they have changed theme to better match Windows 10... and extensions are still working... there are no reasons for them not to..
BTW there's typo in your thread title.

Thanks. I figured some extensions wouldn't work since it's no longer using the gecko engine.

I'd be tempted, I kind of swore off Pale Moon long ago after some issues in the past.

I still wrestle with enough things trying Win10 out in Guinea Pig mode, but Win 10 11102 is running pretty nicely actually.

It fixed many things.

Pale Moon 26. Still has the same issues like Pale Moon 25:

A rather weak support of bleeding edge drafts which are used more and more by web designers instead of the so called recognized standards. 33% ES6 features and only 44% CSS3 and only 1% of ES7 drafts is not that much impressive if you compare it with other recent browsers.

And as soon as a page has a more relaxed stripting implementation pages are broken. The same issue has Opera old faced too in the past.

Pale Moon i can only recommend in combination with a powerful secondary browser, alone you will run into way too much compatibility issues.

ditto! I am done with Pale Moon and its incompatibility with many pages that I visit issues

Yep, that is the pitfall with Pale Moon. It is using older version of Firefox Gecko engine, even new one is probably older fork of Gecko.

i stopped using palemoon about the time when it was not supported for windows xp and i then removed it from windows 7 at the same time.

The issues with Palemoon is the UA (user agent) It's the damn websites that seem to want a UA from Firefox, Chrome or Safari. Check out the addon UAControl and add this line:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_1) AppleWebKit/601.2.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.1 Safari/601.2.4

That will also fix the F-up that is Google in their infinite wisdom to mess up YouTube with a UA.

This isn't a PM problem, it's a website problem.

Been using PM for over 4 years. I've had few issues and if I do I chime in on the PM forum.
