How is it working for you? Do you prefer its traditional user interface over the new Firefox Australis user interface?Ĭould there be enough demand that Blue Systems might consider a Pale-Moon-KDE spin? Or even allocate some developer resources in their direction? I am curious as to what others think of Pale Moon. I am not sure if it is in the standard (Ubuntu/Debian) repositories. There are both binary and source packages. Perhaps a Pale-Moon-KDE package would be a better fit with Netrunner going forward than Firefox-KDE is.įor those using Netrunner Rolling, Pale Moon in in the AUR. Firefox seems to be removing the options to configure their browser.
KDE is renowned for its configuration capabilities. The new Australis user interface does not seem to be in the spirit of KDE.
Perhaps Blue System’s work on the KDE intergration of Firefox might help with a solution to solve the bug referred to above. Now I have to wonder, given Blue Systems development of Firefox-KDE, if perhaps a Pale-Moon-KDE spin would be possible. System Settings > Application Appearance > GTK and change “Select a GTK2 Theme” to anything other than “oxygen-gtk.” Not my first choice for a solution as it undoes so much of what Netrunner has done, but hopefully the real fix will be forthcoming soon. From what I have read this seems to be associated with the gtk appearance settings. For example holding the mouse on the back button for the drop down list to appear can crash Pale Moon. One known bug for Pale Moon running in KDE is a crash when a drop down list is used. I have not yet got all my favourite plugins installed, nor used it exclusively for a good period of time. This is a fork of Firefox that is retaining the old user interface. There are several plugins that add functions that I really like. Over the years I have played a bit with different browsers, but always came back to Firefox. I have not tried Opera, as I understand it is now based on Chromium. I do not like the Chrome user interface either. QupZilla was better in this regard, but did not integrate well into KDE. While the native KDE browsers, Rekonq and Konqueror, show much promise, I found that a number of websites I commonly use did not behave as well as expected. Dissatisfied with the new Australis user interface in Firefox 29, I began researching alternative web browsers.
