Download the Windows installer: Windows XP --- Windows 10

Troubleshooting

Your Pale Moon profile cannot be loaded

Don't initially run Pale Moon as root. If you did, or for some other reason you cannot get Palemoon to launch with an error regarding the profile being locked or missing...

  • First thing, delete the home-user-cache
sudo rm -rf /home/username/.cache/moonchild productions
  • Ensure permissions
sudo chown username /home/.moonchild\ productions
