I don't use the overlay. I prefer to build manually. This goes to way back when to Mozilla 0.91 (showing my age here). If you're not used to doing big builds manually, I recommend downloading the official tarballed executable from palemoon.org. The Mozilla build system, which Pale Moon has inherited, is *NOT* the simple... ./configure --with various parameters make make install > Any info you can provide, or anyone else, would be keenly appreciated, > including a 'homebrew' updated version/settings/hacks of palemoon on > gentoo.... You can down load the latest official bzipped Pale Moon tarball from http://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/ Make sure that you match 32 or 64 bit to your system. You can install anywhere you have write permissions. That includes /usr/local or /opt as root. Or even in your own home directory, which means no root/sudo permissions required. But only the local user will be able to use it. E.g. for the 32-bit version... mkdir $HOME/pm cd $HOME/pm ( download the bzipped 28.7.1 tarball to this directory ) tar xf palemoon-28.7.1.linux-i686.tar.bz2 You will now have directory $HOME/pm/palemoon/ and you can point whatever program launcher you use at "$HOME/pm/palemoon/palemoon". You can also pass parameters, e.g. profilename. It is self-contained in the "palemoon" directory, and does *NOT* splatter libraries all over the place. This makes manual uninstall+upgrade easy. When 28.7.2 comes along sometime in the future... cd $HOME/pm ( download the bzipped 28.7.2 tarball to this directory ) killall palemoon rm -rf palemoon tar xf palemoon-28.7.2.linux-i686.tar.bz2 I currently use only one addon, ANM (Advanced Night Mode) from https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/advanced-night-mode/ It makes surfing a lot easier on my old eyes. I also have multiple profiles open at the same time. The secret is the "-new-instance" option... e.g. something like so in your program launcher... palemoon -new-instance -p bitchute palemoon -new-instance -p blogspot palemoon -new-instance -p dslr palemoon -new-instance -p google palemoon -new-instance -p palemoon palemoon -new-instance -p slashdot palemoon -new-instance -p test palemoon -new-instance -p youtube -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
