Fixed a potential vulnerability with plugins being redirected to different origins (CVE-2018-12364).Prevented various location-based threats.The new version of Pale Moon includes several security fixes and Defense-in-Depth changes: Pale Moon restricts web access to the moz-icon:// scheme because it "could potentially be abused to infringe the user's privacy". Last but not least, the new version does include a fix for the preference file not being writable. The Pale Moon team maintains its own extensions store on the official website. While Pale Moon users cannot install WebExtensions in the browser, the bulk of legacy add-ons should work fine. The team removed references to Mozilla's add-ons store in Pale Moon in early 2018 to prepare for the inevitable removal of all classic add-ons from Mozilla AMO. Work on another browser, called Basilisk, began in 2017. The change should provide Pale Moon users with theme and extension downloads on Mozilla's website.
The new version updates the useragent for Mozilla's Add-ons website to circumvent the "only with Firefox" reminders when accessing the site with the Pale Moon browser.
Users who had issues downloading and install extensions from Mozilla's official Add-ons repository should be able to do so again. Pale Moon 27.9.4 introduces several usability improvements in the web browser. Users who prefer to download the web browser manually instead can do so on the official project website. A click on Check for Updates runs an update check any new version found during the check can be downloaded and installed using the functionality. Pale Moon users select Pale Moon > Help > About Pale Moon to display the current version.
Pale Moon 27.9.4 is offered through the web browser's automatic updating system and as a separate download.
