    Palemoon switching engines to Goanna


    Palemoon switching engines to Goanna

    Pale Moon - Release Notes


    What I am confused on them saying that can't use the Gecko because of trademark issue and a lot of the Palemoon browser itself doesn't use the Gecko Engine. However, Goanna is a fork of the Gecko engine (Link). Both engines operate under the Mozilla public license. If palemoon got into trouble using the Gecko engine, so would other browsers (Iceweasel, cyberfox, waterfox, etc) as well.

    What do you think the real reason is for switching engines?

    I don't see a problem for that site with PM 26 x86.
    I only have PM x86 installed.

    Can we have PM x64 and x86 installed at the same time, and use either ?

    I believe all of the flash content freaks out the x64
    It used to operate very well :/

    Ah, that wouldn't surprise me.
    Maybe we'll be seeing another flash update soon

    I use the Click to play per-element add-on so i chose what and when flash content plays.
    You could try it see if helps.

    Yes on 64 bit machine (Caution desktop & taskbar shortcuts will change). When I was using the 64 bit install. I renamed the shorcuts to know which I am using. I also redid the taskbar shortcuts as well. You can't open them at the sametime though.
