Installation

Download the installer, compatible with Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other distros

File looks like: pminstaller-0.2.4.tar.bz2

Extract the install script within the archive (just a text file shell script) and place it in your home directory: /home/username and then execute it from your xorg file manager

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

Save Image As Save Per Site Annoyance

Due to their bad judgement, the Blue Moon developers brought this horrible bloatware feature over from Firefox.

If you want Pale Moon to always remember and use your last save file location instead of changing them per domain/subdomain, create a new boolean key in about:config named "browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite" and set it to false.
