Takes a real person to admit. There's a lot of misunderstanding, but at least we rectified it. I type from my tablet most of the time so I don't use a lot of punctuation. Big hands and little buttons don't mix, I can see where I was misunderstood. Apologies as well...

64 bit is working flawlessly. 32 bit is still slow. It could be embedded in the code. Don't stress because I'm not. Thanks for the contribution.

I wonder what could be causing the issue, I'm running the 32 bit and it doesn't seem slow to me at all. Could you recommend to me some things that will make its slowness more apparent to me (if you know of any).

The screenshots should explain things. Its slow loading Bookmarks, multi-tabs etc... but on 32bit. 64bit is super-fast.

Sadly it wasn't any help in trying to reproduce the slowness. If I could reproduce the issue I could collaborate with the devs and try and work on it.

Fantastic! These looks like worthwhile changes to pick up. Looking forward to updating. Hoping it fixes the selection bug that's been chafing me with v28.0.1.

My transcoder-focused friend has been talking my ear off about AV1, so I bet he'll be interested in this release as well.

Thanks for the heads up :-)

Pale Moon-28.2.2 was released on 6 December 2018.

Many Thanks to khronosschoty for making it available at,

http://repo.khronosschoty.org/Slackware/Pale-Moon/

The release notes,
Quote:
v28.2.2 (2018-12-06)
This is a minor update to address a few pertinent issues.

Changes/fixes:

Changed the about:feeds icon for external applications to a generic icon, since that kind of access to executables is no longer allowed for security reasons.
Fixed issues with copying/pasting bookmarks in the Library View.
Fixed a crash occurring when using HTTP pipelining over some (broken) proxies.
Fixed several issues with animated WebP display (animations stopping, corrupted frames on lossy images, etc.)
Fixed an issue with the display of truncated GIF images.
Fixed an issue with deleting recent history not working properly.
Fixed incorrect duplicate compatibility mode preferences in about:config.

Any thoughts on compiling vs. the binary version of Pale Moon on SlackBuilds? How long is the compile time, typically? (I know this is hardware-dependent)

28.3.0 is available.

https://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml

I'll probably be moving to Chromium in the near future because I can't get Pale Moon 32bit to run smoothly.

I'd recommend the new Icecat v60 over Palemoon. It's finally running smoothly. It always had problems locking up with olders versions, same with Palemoon. In fact, Palemoon never ever ran smoothly even in windows.

I've long had a soft spot for IceCat.. however, I find simple unusable; and with version 60, that hasn't changed.
