I would like to use it to clean the browsers I actually have. When I first got it, I had Opera, I no longer do, I use Pale Moon now. But I have tried uninstalling, cleaning the registry, then reinstalling and still it says I have Opera and doesn't know about Pale Moon. Is there a way to change that because I have not been able to find it. Thanks.
Pale Moon is cleaned via it's parent browser (either chrome or firefox I can't remember which)
Palemoon is a firefox build and as nergal said should be cleaned under the firefox options. If it isn't, you can set it as a CustomLocation for firefox

It works as a standalone browser, opens with its own set of remembered windows, not FF's. But I don't have Opera on my pc at all and Ccleaner still thinks it is there even after an uninstall and reinstall.
Probably a remaining instance of a registry key or file folder for opera.
I know it works as a standalone browser, but in CCleaner, it is handled by the firefox entries to avoid having a section for each individual build of firefox. Other examples of this behavior include Waterfox (I think), and for Chrome, Chromium, Torch, Chrome Plus, Rockmelt, Flock, SRWare Iron, Chrome Canary, Etc.
The draw back of this is that if you clean one build, you have to clean them all
Pale moon is in the mozilla family that is where it is cleaned (to have seperate entries for every browser instead of grouping under parent would be ungainly and would add large bulk to the lightweight ccleaner program)
Check your registry and appdata folders for entries related to opera, ccleaner uses a file/registry detection system, so there are indeed traces of opera on your computer
There are separate Pale Moon cleaners in the winapp2.ini (file) located here which will clean some extra stuff, and it will display as Pale Moon in CCleaner. However like the others have mentioned the default Firefox cleaners built into CCleaner will also clean Pale Moon, but they'll be listed as/under Firefox.
Thanks for the help! I'll search the registry for Opera leftovers, though Ccleaner didn't find any. I also have JV16 Power Tools, but I have used that several times since I removed Opera which was quite a while ago, a year or more I'm sure, but obviously something is still in there.
you may have opera folders in %localappdata%, %appdata%, %programdata% or %programfiles% (%programfiles(x86)%)

Yeah, I found some in the Windows system folder too. And there's an opera mini in the iTunes folder, I don't use iTunes but to back up my iPhone, no music, but its there. And still showing in Ccleaner. I can live with it I guess.
