Rediscover Browsing with Pale Moon

Following the recent release of the Pale Moon browser by PtitSeb, here's the review of its performance and behavior on Pandoralive:

I just want to give a bit of feedback about what you said in the article.  As I have said a few times recently, I like Pale Moon.  It is fairly stable, but it crashes much more frequently than Qupzilla for me, which rarely happened.  I would say it happens with Pale Moon a couple times a day, so probably at least once every couple hours.  I can throw more at Pale Moon with less issues, including using more than a single tab.  Many of the issues I have had with both are related to keeping up to date with stuff here, and other Pandora/Pyra and news related things.

Since I have installed it Pale Moon is the only browser I have been using for all normal browsing.  From time to time I check some things with Otter to compare.  I really want to use Otter for everything, but Pale Moon work better for me.  I updated Qupzilla yesterday, so I should probably include that in my tests.  Pale Moon has allowed me to use my (CC) Pandora for a lot more browsing.

Can you tell me more about what leads to the crashes? Any particular page? Just letting it run for a long time makes it crash ?

Yep, I would need the /tmp/pndrun_palemoon.out logfile. Maybe it's a "simple" Out of memory error (you'll probably see "killed" in the log file in that case).

@ekianjo: nice article (didn't knew the Pale Moon was a Belgian beer)

If that's the case a swap file would solve the issue ?

Yes exactly

What sort of Pandora was being used when testing Pale Moon? Fingers crossed for CC 256MB.

Pale Moon do works fine on CC. The only thing is you will not be abble to open as many tabs as on a 512mo model without a swap file.

Works well enough on my CC 256MB.  I am impressed.

I'll give it a try, sounds promising enough. Thanks for nice write-up.
