Hello, Palemoon is based on Firefox but offers the "Classic UI". It has no odious signing requirements for plugins. Most plugins work and there are no pending requirements to rewrite them to a new API. Here are some links:
http://www.palemoon.org/ http://addons.palemoon.org/resources/incompatible/ It also seems faster and less "crashy" than Firefox. I vastly prefer this browser over newer Firefox releases. What follows are the notes I made when I built Pale Moon. Sadly, at least for now, I'm not able to make a proper port, so these notes are offered in the hope that it may stir up some interest... :^) - Tor ---------------------------------------------------- Build instructions for Pale Moon on OpenBSD: See also (this was my starting point): http://linux.palemoon.org/help/build Hardware & OS: OpenBSD version 5.8 64-bit (amd64 architecture). My build system has 4GB of RAM and an equal amount of swap space. 32-bit OpenBSD has problems accessing enough RAM to link libxul. This is because there is a per process limit of RAM that cannot be overcome. I think it's around ~1GB (?). I'm not too clear on the details but I know I tried and it always failed with a "memory exhausted" error (anyone able to get around this problem?)...
