From the publisher’s website, “Why settle for a basic build of your Firefox browser on Windows Operating Systems when you can have one that performs 25% faster?

So, here is the Pale Moon project: Custom-built and optimized Firefox browsers for Windows Operating Systems. Make sure to get the most speed out of your browser!
