FAQ:

Q: Having audio distorted when watching Twitter/etc.?
A: Please try turning on "Firefox compatibility" in options dialog or either "general.useragent.compatMode = 2" or "general.useragent.compatMode.firefox = true" in about:config and reload the page.

Q: Can't play H264 clips? (for PM27/KM76/FF45)
A: Download following packages for your browser edition(32bit/64bit) and extract DLLs to same place as palemoon.exe lives.
  32bit LAV dlls are in separated package (extracted from K-Lite codec pack 13.5.5)
  https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav.7z

  Just in case if you have an older processor which has no SSE instruction set support:
    32bit NoSSE (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build)
    https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-mmx.7z
    32bit No ASM (ffmpeg 3.1.1 lite build, if build above doesn't work on your processor)
    https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav-dll-lite-noasm.7z

  64bit LAV dlls are in separated package (LAV Filters 64bit 0.70.2)
  https://o.rthost.win/palemoon/lav64.7z

Q: AV1 Support? (for UXP-based applications except mailnews)
A: You need to enable "media.av1.enabled" in about:config

Q: VP9 Support? (for PM27)
A: VP9 works if async MSE option is unchecked and "Enable MSE for WebM Video" checked in options.

Q: Extensions/Themes not working after updating binaries.
A: If you encounter extensions not show icon, clicking options button of extension causing browser unresponsive, etc. please try following actions:
1.a Killing palemoon.exe process
1.b Copy whole extensions folder out of profile folder (to somewhere else for example, desktop)
1.c Restart browser without restoring previous sessions
1.d Goto about:addons page
1.e Drop XPI files from the copied-out extensions folder to about:addonss page One-by-One.
1.f After all XPI files are dropped and installed/updated, restart browser

Q: Virus detected?
A: Tell your anti-virus program to exclude palemoon.exe and/or plugin-container.exe. Some anti-virus heuristic engines (for example symantec's sonar engine) is too sensitive to palemoon.exe/plugin-container.exe network activities.

Q: Where's your patches for compiling my own?
A: Please visit the link above "FAQ:". Latest source patch files are named "sources_patches_YYYYMMDD.7z" in that page.

Q: basilisk browser showing basic pages in GMail?
A: set these to "ture" in about:config
 general.useragent.compatMode.firefox
 general.useragent.compatMode.gecko

Q: Should I let official Pale Moon and "New Moon" both using same profile (at the same time / alternatively)?
A: it is not recommend to do that, as they have different NSS security library, which has different encryption procedure to the saved password database. Same profile being "touched" by different gecko/goanna applications may cause unexpected behaviors.
  If you want to launch both Pale Moon and "New Moon" / Basilisk and "Serpent" / etc. at the same time, one of them should be in "--no-remote" portable mode.

Q: How to change User Interface language?
A: Please see this post:

Q: Portable Loader?
A: You can always use official portable launcher with my binaries, or you can use my simple portable loader written in NSIS:

 

Q: How to install extensions/themes in BNavigator browser?
A: Please check this post out:

(EDIT: you may need to change minVersion to 0.9.0a1 as upstream changed version to a lower value after this guide existed)

 

Q: I want to verify if archive is not changed by others!
A: from 30 October 2019, new archives will have ".asc" GPG detached signature. You can download signature separately by appending ".asc" (without quotation marks) after the archive URL. You can get my public key by following instructions in this post:

Q: I'm getting 0xC000001D error when starting Serpent/UXP-ia32 browser!
A: your processor does not support CMOV instruction. VC2015 IA32 build requires CMOV instruction support. here is a list of processors with CMOV instruction support:
- Intel: Pentium Pro or later
- AMD: K7 (original Athlon/Duron) or later
- VIA: C7 or later
- Transmeta: all CPUs are capable to run sp52-ia32.
- Cyrix/IBM: 6x86MX or later, MediaGXm(MediaGX-S) or later
- National Semiconductor/AMD: Geode GX or later
- DM&P/Vortex86: Vortex86DX3 or later

Q: I need WebAssembly support!
A: for NM28/SP52, go to about:config and enable javascript.options.wasm

You know, I once suggested to make dedicated sub-board on members projects, you might bump my topic



This would be the perfect opportunity now. Have no own opinion about sub-boards, but what's absolutely important is to split up this giant whirlpool into separate topics.
@roytam1 Please consider!
At the very least please separate topics for native Win2000 browsers (like PM26, KMG74), and native Win98 browsers (like Fx36, retrozilla). And perhaps another for the more exotic builds, but not my area.

(PS: and rename here to "My browser builds" 8) After a split, perhaps "My browser builds for XP"?)

@roytam1 Please consider!

it will be nice to have this in sub-board, but if there is no sub-board, I think just keeping all things in one (and only) thread is better for me.

oh yeah, this thread created in hurry and hadn't think about the title in deep :)

Users of these browsers may now discover that Help / Submit Feedback... now leads to the just-closed thread, making it tough to, uh, submit feedback...

I'll do pull requests to fix this issue soon. In the meantime, if this happens to you, you can go to about:config and change pref app.feedback.baseURL to https://msfn.org/board/topic/180462-my-browser-builds-part-2/?do=getNewComment.
