Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)Palemoon is a packet of Firefox optimized for Windows. It runs ~25% faster! You can import all your settings, including extensions, from Firefox.
Available languages: several Operating systems: Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/Seven, 32-bit or 64-bit License: Free Author Description:
My opinion: This is a great browser. I installed the portable version, and am using it right now. How I moved my settings and extensions from Firefox (LiberKey) to Palemoon:
All my extensions seem to work perfectly in Palemoon, including FasterFox, LastPass, etc. The only things I needed to manually do were:

Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)+1
I am already using this portably, it's much quicker than Firefox.
Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)Never heard of PaleMoon before, so I checked it out. First I tried to read about it, and found a discussion on Portable Apps, where the app was dismissed because it was not being updated (Jan. 2010).
So I went to the website of PaleMoon, and discovered the app is up-to-date again, and is following the stable firefox updates closely (within a day), so that's a plus. After reading everything the author has to say about PaleMoon (he's sometimes bitter towards Mozilla), I still had some issues: - will this optimized app suit me as a portable browser if it won't do any good on an old machine (like at work)? - how can I port my full profile (addons, plugins, scripts, preferences) to the portable PaleMoon (author says it can't be done with his Profile Migration Tool, I tried and he's right). I checked our machines at work, and luckily the hardware will do (pfew, we're not that ancient I thought we were). But it is something you really have to check before installing (I know I do, but most won't and just install software that says "I'm faster!"), you can check it here: http://www.palemoon.org/technical.shtml#CPUsupport Then the profile migration: I didn't want to go the copy-paste route he suggested when the migration tool fails (will certainly fail with migrating to portable PaleMoon profile), so I tried if MozBackup works, and it did After a first run (to create a default profile) I closed PaleMoon and opened MozBackup. Directed the backup (of another FF profile) to the PaleMoon installation, in my case the path was: ...\Palemoon-Portable-3.6.15\User\Palemoon\Profiles\Default et voila! To complete my portable installation I copied some plugins (like Flash, see instructions here: http://portableapps.com/support/firefox ... le#plugins) to the plugins folder in PaleMoon (...\Palemoon-Portable-3.6.15\Bin\Palemoon\plugins). The Palemoon optimized Firefox browser is running smoothly, and it is/seems faster on my machines, but I don't know if it's a hasslefree portable app for everyone, one must know it's an optimization and why/when to use it or not. I won't be dissapointed if it isn't going to be presented in the LiberKey suite. Thanks anyway for the tip! _

Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)
There are two ways. One is to use MozBackup. And the other is to use the FEBE extension. I did it with FEBE:
Also, Palemoon seems to be very up to date nowadays.
Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)FEBE is a very nice addon, and it was very useful to me when I wanted to transfer a simple profile from windows to mac But I didn't get lucky with a much-tweaked profile, so for my use MozBackup works great.
One remark using MozBackup with PaleMoon: I've noticed when restoring a PaleMoon profile into another installation, to -in my example- a new default Firefox profile: if "General Settings" is checked, the location of my (default) cache* was changed to the PaleMoon one (very unconvenient). However, this can be solved: Before backing up a PaleMoon profile, follow instructions at "Advanced options**" (end of this page: http://www.palemoon.org/palemoon-portable.shtml) and change (edit .ini) to preferred (default) cache location. * I'don't know if FEBE exports those kinds of settings ** [tip] The advanced options are also useful to get a better performance when the portable version is run from a harddisk _

Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)Palemoon V4 is now available...
Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)Just to say it's a really good soft.
I hope I can see it in the liberkey soon. All the best.
Re: Palemoon (Firefox special build for Windows)+1 from me for being integrated into Liberkey.
