Moderators mta Posted February 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2014 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?

Alan_B Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) 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 http://forum.palemoon.org/ Edited February 28, 2014 by Alan_B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted February 28, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2014 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.

Moderators mta Posted February 28, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2014 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) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Winapp2.ini Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 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 winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 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 "Should I choose Pale Moon 32-bit or 64-bit?"http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2516 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
