Pale Moon

[xeno74]

Hi All,

Wicknix modified the source code of Pale Moon and released it a month ago.

Download of the modified Pale Moon source code: pale-moon-31-ppc-fix.tar.bz2

He compiled a 64-bit PowerPC version with this modified Pale Moon source code a month ago.

Download: palemoon-31.2.linux-powerpc64-void64be.tar.bz2

I compiled a 32-bit PowerPC version with Wicknix's source code for MintPPC, Debian Sid, Fienix, and Void yesterday.

Link to the compiling posts in the Arctic Fox thread: Arctic Fox 27.9.12 (Firefox 63.0) a fork of Pale Moon

Download: palemoon-31.2.0.linux-powerpc-gtk2.void.tar.gz



You can also use another version for very new Linux distributions with Libc 2.34 and pthreads support.

Download: palemoon-31.2.0.linux-powerpc-gtk2.tar.gz

Please test Pale Moon.

Thanks,
Christian

FYI:

I highly recommend you get the word out that you built these 32bit builds as they are more up to date and secure than my older interweb, spiderweb and faded orb builds.

I also highly recommend the palefill polyfill extension. It makes github work again, along with a few other sites. Direct link here: https://github.com/martok/palefill/releases/download/v1.23/palefill-1.23.xpi

YouTube videos in HD with ViewTube and Pale Moon

1. Start Pale Moon and install the add-on palefill polyfill for displaying github sites
2. Restart Pale Moon
3. Install the add-on greasemonkey-3.31.2-pm_forkBranch.xpi
4. Restart Pale Moon
5. After that, add the ViewTube script to Greasemonkey

Maybe you need to install the VLC browser plugin before.

For example with: apt-get install browser-plugin-vlc

Or the direct download: libvlcplugin.so

Please copy the file "libvlcplugin.so" to the directory /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Thank you too for testing!

@All

Arctic Fox is very often faster than Pale Moon with loading of some websites. Sometimes AF can't display a website but PM can display it.
I would recommend to visit websites with Arctic Fox and if you have some issues with displaying them then use Pale Moon.

I successfully tested the new Pale Moon 32.1.0 on my X5000 today.

This version allows sites like github and discord web to work again.

When I tried to run it in MintPPC, I got this error message:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /media/Linux/palemoon/libxul.so:

Couldn't load XPCOM.

The previous 31.x version works ok.

Roland,

Thanks for testing the new Pale Moon.

The libjpeg.so.8 isn't available on MintPPC. I uploaded it today.

Download: libjpeg.so.8

Please copy it to /lib/powerpc-linux-gnu as root. After that run the command ldconfig for adding the new lib to the library cache. Then close the terminal and try to start Pale Moon again.

Cheers,
Christian
