I wonder if users who are fond of certain add-ons might be better off with a browser based on Firefox 52? FF 55 was not an extended support release, so there have been no updates from Mozilla for at least a year - and yet it is the most recent browser version than any developer has backported to XP and Vista. On the other hand, Moonchild has expressed a determination to retain NPAPI support, and Basilisk "Moebius" was his project before being "deprecated." I note that TechnoRelic recommended a "legacy extension" for it on page 51 of the "New Moon" thread, but also mentioned an issue with the extension. IMO supporting multiple browsers in a single cumbersome thread is getting Thornton I see you are now using roytam1's Basilisk 55 build! Can you clarify the situation regarding add-ons for that version? Firefox versions higher than 52 do not support NPAPI plugins (now called "classic" or "legacy" - although there is still an exception for Flash Player). This roytam1 certainly has quite a few irons in the fire (New Moon 27 and 28, Basilisk 52 and 55, K-Meleon, and even a patched Firefox 45 for non-SSE2 processors) - so many that I think we must be talking about an organization rather than an individual.

Firefox versions higher than 52 do not support NPAPI plugins (now called "classic" or "legacy" - although there is still an exception for Flash Player). BTW I do not misunderstand: Developer roytam1 of Hong Kong does not own a copy of Vista (and neither does Moonchild for that matter), and roytam1 also doesn't have XP64 (see April 7 reply to Sumanai on page 44 of your link), so pardon my pessimism.Ĭlick to expand. I will be keeping an eye on a.k.a Pale Moon for XP as you suggested. Those of us running Vista x86 couldn't reproduce that issue if we wanted to, whereas those of you running Vista 圆4 could always use the 32-bit version of Pale Moon at this time (e.g if you wanted a browser from better-known developers that does not require installation of LAV open-source decoders, allows you to use Flash Player if you want, and even supports Aero). Of course Pale Moon 27 supports Vista anyway but as you have found, the 64-bit version has video issues on Vista (see Palemoon 27.5/6/7 圆4 doesn't support "MSE & H.264" on Windoiws Vista 圆4 SP2. System Requirements:Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Server 2008 or later.A processor with SSE2 support.256 MB of free RAM.At least 150 MB of free (uncompressed) disk space.Well if you had specified "Best 64-bit Options for Vista," then you might unfortunately be correct. Pale Moon is able to import existing Firefox profiles with the migration tool. Support for many Firefox extensions (add-ons) and themes.Support for Pale Moon exclusive extensions and themes and extensive support for HTML5, CSS3 and WebGL.Familiar, efficient, fully customizable interface with smooth and speedy page drawing and script processing.Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser completely built from its own source with carefully selected features and optimizations to maximize the browser's speed, stability and user experience, whilst maintaining compatibility with thousands of Firefox extensions. The application is Open Source and free to use. Pale Moon is a Firefox-based web browser for Microsoft Windows, Android and Linux (with other operating systems in development) that is focused on efficiency and ease of use.
