Yes it is so Firefox is heavier than Edge.

This must be one of the reasons I'm still on Pale Moon most of the time.

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: firefox.exe (10540) consumed 2574610432 bytes, firefox.exe (3720) consumed 1298313216 bytes, and firefox.exe (11168) consumed 513085440 bytes.

All my ancient XUL extensions still work, including ColorfulTabs (love ColorfulTabs! only updated it few years back by myself to remove the bug related to Australis UI detection) and Navigation Sounds. There's Extra Sounds for Firefox, but there's a catch other than those sounds being hardcoded, extension being active means there's always one AudioContext active, which means Windows resolution timer is permanently stuck on 1 ms as long as the browser runs even with zero multimedia stuff active on web pages, which is bad .

Latest uBO would be nice, but eh, we still get by with the old one. Speaking of uBO, I would laugh so hard if Mozilla dropped Manifest V2.

Yesterday after my PC came out of sleep, one of the firefox.exe renderer processes was stuck in a loop, constantly consuming over 40%...even worse when Pale Moon gets stuck on crappy JavaScript on some crappy pages, which is usually constrained on one core, so that's 25% in my case on a quad core.

I have no clue what "Easy Mode" even IS.

isn't palemoon based on ancient gecko version ?

Well, now that I know what it is called, I fail to understand why anybody would be using uBO in anything but HARD MODE.

Kind of.  Goanna is a fork of Gecko.

If I remember correctly, Pale Moon has used Goanna ever since version 26.
