came across a site that PaleMoon couldn't open (www.icloud.com) so I have been playing with Waterfox.
it may be my Holy Grail, but I'm chasing a one-stop shop browser.
I understand Waterfox's main difference to Firefox is 64bit and speed, is there anything else?
Does Waterfox tie itself to the Firefox rapid release cycles?
And can other PaleMoon users access www.icloud.com or is it just me?
32 bit Portable Palemoon on 64 bit Windows 7 opens www.icloud.com and asks me to sign in.
I have no apple ID or password so I do not bother.
I believe Microsoft compilers for 64 bit code do NOT work as well as they do for 32 bit code.
Perhaps for the same reason most extensions Plugins that work on 32 bit Firefox are also available and work on 32 bit versions of Palemoon,
but are either not available or less capable on 64 bit browsers.
For these reasons I have no wish to use 64 bit Palemoon, and only use the 32 bit version.
I suggest you try 32 bit Portable Palemoon (avoiding conflict with your installed version), or get advise at their forum
yeah, I've tried their forum, still waiting for the activation email. (been over 2 hours!!!)
now you mention it, I do remember installing the x64 version of PaleMoon, I will remove and load the x86 one.
thanks for the memory jog and for confirming it is me and not PaleMoon.
success. palemoon x86 portable did the trick.
i'll await @Winapp2.ini for an expert Waterfox analyse. (initial impressions were good but still preferring palemoon currently)
I haven't used Waterfox in quite some time (I think late 2012 was when I stopped) but I use Nightly x64 (Firefox 30.0a1 x64) as my daily driver. When I used waterfox, I had absolutely no complaints, and enjoyed the flexibility I got in terms of memory using x64
I have just visited the Palemoon forum, and now remember it is Plugins, not Extensions, that have restricted availability on 64 bit sysytems.
This is a useful topic
