Thanks, but i'm not allowed to use or package with the official PM icon or name. Mac support hasn't been made official yet. We are close though! That's why we mac users currently have the ugly grey "newmoon" icon and app name. If other people want to replace the stock newmoon icon with it that's fine and dandy however.
Cheers
Wicknix, I've been trying this out today on a Core2 Duo Mac Mini3,1 running 10.6 and found it to be truly excellent.
I then tried to be a little too clever, went into about.config to perform a few tweaks using THIS link as a basis for the changes. After the changes, rebooted, and surprised to find that PaleMoon wouldn't load the home tab, or other tabs bookmarked on the toolbar. Typed in about.config again hoping to return to defaults but it wouldn't list the preferences in order to make any changes.
Rebooted, and tried again, but no change.
I then deleted the PaleMoon app using AppCleaner. Using your given link then downloaded PaleMoon once again and installed to applications. Again it fired-up but failed to load the home page or any other web links.
Firefox is still functioning correctly as before but I'd like PaleMoon back.
Any ideas please from anyone?

@CooperBox : Hmm. First i'd try what Dronecatcher said. On a side note, Pale Moon is no longer a rebranded and tweaked firefox. It's been using much of it's own code base, it's own rendering engine, etc for quiet a few releases now. I would advise staying away from firefox specific tweaks. Most mozilla/google privacy/spy code has been removed or disabled by default. You really shouldn't have to tweak it.
Try deleting ~/Library/Saved Application State/org.mozilla.palemoon.savedState
and
~/Library/Application Support/Pale Moon
Let me know if that helps.
Cheers

Ok, thanks Wicknix & Dronecatcher, your comments certainly helped fix it. The hidden directory was in fact within Library/Application Support. And I'll stay well away from further tweaks with PaleMoon in the future.
On a side issue, the search engine I use most frequently these days is QWANT, also DuckDuckGo, both of which respect ones privacy far more than the mastodon engines. Although I've set it as my home page, I note that QWANT is not supported/cannot be installed as an add-on due to a jetpack/SDK extension. Any possibility to change this in the future?
I note that DuckDuckGo appears to be the default search engine, so I can happily live with that.
Hello friendly SnowLeopard fans!
I have a Snow leopard question.
I have an extra USB Snow Leopard drive, is that worth anything?
would that drive work in any deserving mac, or just a macbook air?
as far as search engines
duck duck go does not go a lot of times, on the iPad. i get a lot of blank results for simple searches.
Ecosia seems worthy even though i don't believe their tree making scheme.
why doesn't apple include other search engines on their default?
have great day peoples!

I'm pretty sure you can boot the stick on any Mac by holding Control when booting but I may be wrong
There is no other up to date browser, however, Opera 25 works really well for me for YouTube, Twitter and Discord. It’s a lot faster than Firefox 45 ESR.
You might actually be able to run a newer version of Opera by changing the OS requirement in the .plist since you’re running on a 64-bit CPU.
thanks for the reply
does that require typing?
opera was good, huge but good.
i just hope i can create a website with dreamweaver, scan from an old canon, rip my dvds with subtitles and print with a HP desk Jet ###
who knows, maybe i might leave the Snow leopard drive in the macbook air.
boy, el Capitan hates being erased!
i sent an hour try to downgrade from EC to snow leopard using the original USB that came with the MBA, i feel stupid!
no luck! cmd r, option does not read the usb and won't erase EC
and too much bad info online.
any help would be nice, no rush nothing major, I just wan to see if things work with SL.
i downgraded from HS to EC in April, i should follow those steps.
i have nothing those since the drive is original and 60gb
again thanks!

Try erasing the disk using Disk Utility from the Snow Leopard installer. Install rEFIt or something similar to boot into USB
did that, flashing folder with a ?
plugged n a time machine, now solid ?
i might put the good ssd with el cap just to get the MBA working, and try again some other time.

but, that works now.

nope, they are unreadable and unbootable well in my elcap'd mba.
but, that works now.
I am still using a 06 black macbook, because i have a mac pro at home and i like my blackbook! I got this macbook for 20 euro's and it was in a very rough shape! I blew new life and love in this machine and its working amazingly well! Even the battery holds a charge with only 133 cycles on it! I will continue using this lil macbook because i just use it for lightweight work, i do not need a more powerfull machine!
