Moonchild Productions has released a major update to its Firefox browser variant for Windows with the release of Pale Moon 25.0 and Pale Moon x64 25.0, which sees the browser drop support for Windows XP.
Version 25.0 sees the version number jump for the first time since the browser forked away from its Firefox parent due to major changes in the way the browser identifies itself.
Pale Moon 25.0 debuts a new browser GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier) to properly differentiate itself from Firefox, plus solve a number of what Moonchild terms as "development issues" that were holding the browser back. Unfortunately, the new GUID creates implications for a number of Firefox add-ons that hard-code the Firefox GUID into them, including AdBlock Plus.

Im on the point of uninstalling the FF ESR version, and was only keeping it to cross-check e.g. examples of things observed by FF/WSA combo and PM/WSA combo, but can see no compelling reason to have Firefox anymore, even though also they are now 2 very seperate Browser Projects.@ wrote:
Awesome I love this Browser and now Firefox is off of my system! Thanks@ :D

Glad to hear it's working well for you Daniel 😃, and wondering did you add PM Commander (?), which can come in handy for advanced users.
If ever you do encounter any conflicts or issues, then they're always working hard to make fixes, and support the users, as can be seen at Pale Moon forum • Index page

+3with Pale Moon Commander add-on , or are you? Easily done.....
p.s. Guess this (25.0.1) will mean more whitelisting needed also? But [U} doesn't bother me, unless I meet up with an issue.
+56No he changes his name at times!! https://community.webroot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/13455
