To use, simply extract the tarball anywhere you like and execute the «palemoon» file inside it, or follow the instructions here if you want to install manually. It is recommended that you extract Pale Moon to a user-writable location so that the internal updater can work as intended to keep your browser up to date.

Pale Moon for Linux
Pale Moon is an Open Source, Goanna-based web browser completely built from its own, independently developed source that has been forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code a number of years ago, and focuses on efficiency and ease of use by carefully selecting features and optimizations to improve the browser’s stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.
Pale Moon aims to provide close adherence to official web standards and specifications in its implementation (with minimal compromise), and purposefully excludes a number of features to strike a good balance between general use, performance, and technical advancements on the Web.
With the current generation of mainstream browsers, there are also more obvious and not just «under the hood» differences: Pale Moon will continue to provide grouped navigation buttons of a decent size, a bookmarks toolbar that is enabled by default, tabs next to page content by default (easily switchable) and not in the least a functional status bar and more freedom in customization, to name a few things.
For additional information, check out the main site here.
For support, check out the forum here.
Installation:

It aims to provide close adherence to a balanced set of official, common-sense web standards and specifications in its implementation (with minimal compromise), and purposefully excludes a number of features to strike a balance between general use, performance, and technical advancements on the Web.
Pale Moon will continue to provide grouped navigation buttons of a decent size, a bookmarks toolbar that is enabled by default, tabs next to page content by default (easily switchable) and not in the least a functional status bar and more freedom in customization , to name a few things.

Pale Moon is, and will always be, Open Source and completely FREE to download and use!
This browser is released as a community project to aim for open, collaborative development of a full-featured web browser , as much designed by the user as it is by our development team. Everyone is welcome to become involved in its development or to write extensions to enhance their browsing experience! It is released «as-is» and in the hope that it will be useful to its users.
This project is community-supported to benefit the development of not only a web browser but any other application that builds on the freely available XUL platform we are developing and using. That means that if you enjoy the browser enough to help pay for bills for hosting, related on-line and off-line services, and especially further development and maintenance of the browser and underlying platform, you can support us through the following service:

Download Pale Moon for Linux unstable binaries
This version of Pale Moon is built somewhat regularly from the current development source of the browser and should only be considered for use by people who wish to help catch bugs before release.
The unstable versions of Pale Moon come with recognizable unstable branding (a «blood moon») to clearly differentiate it from the official releases.
Make sure you make regular backups of your Pale Moon profile as the unstable version may occasionally cause data loss. The unstable versions do not use a separate user profile, so if you decide to use this build, your release-version profile will be used and potentially be at risk.
Release notes
Concise release notes about this development version can be found here: http://www.palemoon.org/unstable/releasenotes.shtml
Reporting bugs
The primary place for reporting bugs is first and foremost the forum; that will allow you to get confirmation and keeps our issue trackers clean and focused.
If you find confirmed bugs in these versions, please report them in the issue tracker on our repo server for Pale Moon. Please note that platform bugs (not specific to the front-end of the browser application) should be posted on the Unified XUL Platform issue tracker. When you do so, please check if the bug has already been reported before by others to prevent duplicate entries in the tracker. If you report bugs, make sure to include the build date (as found in the about box) and provide clear information about the bug:
- Clear description of the bug, with a concise and clear title for the issue
(include exact circumstances and exact error messages, if any) - Steps to reproduce
(what exactly do you do to cause the bug to become apparent?) - Expected results
(given the steps taken, what did you expect the browser to do?) - Actual results
(what did the browser do instead of what was expected?)
Also before you report a bug, make sure that you verify if the bug also manifests in a new profile with default preferences and no installed add-ons.
Updating
The unstable version has its own update channel which is separate from the official releases. The preferred way of updating is to let the internal updater do its task (default setting is to update automatically). Note that in order for the internal updater to work on Linux the browser must located in a user-writable location.
Download
The unstable version for Linux is only available in 64-bit. There are no 32-bit builds of the unstable version available.
