The user will need to follow a few simple steps and restart the browser.
Readers of our portal are probably aware that the Pale Moon browser surpasses its "big brother" - Mozilla Firefox in some characteristics. It loads web pages 25% faster, takes up less RAM and has an interesting interface. However, there is also a drawback - the default web browser menu is in English, the crack must be installed separately. However, this can be done with minimal investment of time and effort.
1. Download and install the crack
To get started, go to the official portal of the Pale Moon developers with language packs. In a rather large table, you will also find a Russian language pack called ru.xpi. After downloading this file, open it with a double click of the mouse (unless prompted "Install"). Answer yes to the question if you want to integrate the .xpi file into the browser.
2. Make changes to the Pale Moon configuration
In order to activate the language pack already added to the Internet browser, you will need to make some configuration changes. In the Pale Moon address bar, write: about: config, then press Enter. The configuration list appears in the window. Find the setting in it: general.useragent.locale.
Double click on it with the left mouse button. Instead of the value "en-US" (which means the American version of the English language), enter "ru-RU" if you want to install the Russian language. The option "ua-UA" (in some cases "uk" or "ukr") may also be available - to display the interface in Ukrainian. Hit Enter.
3. Restart
Restart your Pale Moon browser. Exit the program through the task manager or simply exit it. Then launch the Pale Moon again. Now you can enjoy working with your favorite browser in Russian!
Meet Pale Moon. A smart, extremely simple and quite popular browser based on Mozilla Firefox. And, I must say, it turned out pretty well. In some ways, the "Pale Moon" even surpassed the "Fire Fox". For example, the first one is much more powerful, less often freezes and slows down. Web documents are processed as quickly as possible due to high-quality optimization. Pale Moon can be downloaded for free from our website.
However, as you know, nothing is given for nothing. So if you decide to download Pale Moon to your computer, keep in mind that the browser paid for the speed with a number of features and functions that are implemented in the same Firefox. In particular, support for ActiveX and DOM has been removed, scanning of uploaded files does not occur, and there is also no way to configure "parental control". However, all these functions are not required by all users, and besides, there is always the opportunity to install the necessary modules from Mozilla on their own.
Functional
Pale Moon is perfectly optimized for modern web pages, which makes it easy to open the latter in record time. All the really necessary options used when surfing are saved, only specific ones are removed, so that as a result, the developers managed to create a fast browser that would meet the requirements of most users.
Pale Moon, which, by the way, can be downloaded from our website, supports Canvas and Scalable Vector Graphics. The browser is also friendly with all kinds of downloadable fonts. And fast and high-quality display of web documents built using the next generation architecture allows compliance with WebGL and HTML5 standards.
Pale Moon boasts good integration with the Firefox browser and gives you the ability to sync user profiles, settings, and tools. Extensions of the "Fiery Fox" are also great for the lunar browser, which gives almost limitless possibilities for its modification, improvement and customization.

Pall Moon Removal
Portable version
The charming "sleepwalker" also has a portable version that does not require installation and works even from a flash drive. He retained all the features of the original, so you can download without fear of getting a "pig in a poke".
How to change the interface language
Alas, the developers did not provide for the Russian language in the assemblies. But they made the official crack separately - whoever needs it, he will download it. By the way, the story is the same with other languages. Apparently, in order not to overload the browser.
To get started, go to the official developer portal and find the page with language packs there. From a very long list, choose Russion (or any other, if necessary). Download it. Open the downloaded file and answer the question "Do you want to integrate the file with the .xpi extension into the browser?" in the affirmative.
Do not rush to rejoice, this is not the end. Now you need to make changes to the Pale Moon configuration.
In the Pale Moon address bar, write: about: config, then press Enter. The configuration list appears in the window. Find the setting in it: general.useragent.locale.
Double click on it with the left mouse button. Instead of the value "en-US" (which means the American version of the English language), enter "ru-RU" if you want to install the Russian language.
Now restart your browser and enjoy the interface in your familiar language.
The problem with little-known browsers is that they take a long time to get used to, and there are practically no add-ons and extensions to them. But there are exceptions - for example, you can download Pale Moon for Windows 10, and enjoy an improved copy of the popular browser.
Pale Moon - an improved version of FireFox
Why use a copy - Pale Moon when there is an original - FireFox, you ask? Quite simply, Pale Moon is a browser focused on maximum performance and speed. Yes, this is the same FireFox, but with unnecessary functions disabled. The browser did not lose anything from this, but only gained. The speed of work has increased significantly, and this is especially felt on weak devices - tablets and laptops. At the same time, the browser has retained all the best from its progenitor:- Large selection of plugins and extensions;
- Multilingual;
- The ability to instantly translate text;
This approach of the developers allowed to reduce the load on the CPU and RAM, and even increase the speed of loading pages. A nice feature of the browser is that all extensions from FireFox are suitable for it too. Which means you can install the extension as well.
How to Russify Pale Moon
Unfortunately, there is no native Russian version of Pale Moon. And on this page you can download the English version. For the browser to become in Russian, and this is quite real, you need to download the language pack directly from the browser. All this is done in the "Options" section, in the "Languages" tab. By default, this is all in English - Settings, Languages. After downloading the language pack, the browser will restart and become in Russian.Pale Moon 28.4.0 is a free and easy to use internet browser. Built on the basis of the popular Mozilla Firefox browser, but lighter and better optimized, thanks to this, its speed has increased.
Pale Moon's interface looks very similar to the Mozilla browser. So, if you are familiar with Firefox, then understanding Pale Moon will not be difficult. All menus and settings are completely copied. The search bar is separate from the URL input bar. In it, you can immediately select the search engine you want to contact at the moment. Also, next to the search bar there is a button for displaying a list of downloads.
Pale Moon Browser Features
The main feature of this Internet browser is its higher speed. It was achieved due to the fact that the developers have disabled unnecessary and little-demanded functions. These are such as parental control in the browser, Active Scripting and others. After doing their research, they realized that more than 95% of all browser users do not use this functionality, and it is a ballast for performance.
Also, the Pale Moon developers worked on optimizing the code, which also increased the speed of page loading. Plus, the speed of processing scripts, both online and offline, has increased.
Since Pale Moon is built on top of Firefox, it supports almost all of its extensions. This means you can install add-ons from the official Mozilla add-on store.
It is worth noting that by disabling unnecessary functionality, the Pale Moon browser consumes less computer resources compared to Mozilla Firefox. Thus, it is more preferable for those with weak personal computers.

2. Highlighting part of the links
In Fox it is possible to select part of the link by holding Alt. To do this, you need to disable saving by Alt + Click. Find the browser.altClickSave parameter in about: config and switch it to false. To select a part of the link, you need to hold down the alt, select the text, first release the mouse button and then viola... This method works on regular links, but doesn't work on, say, Twitter names (it works like a click).
Bonus: to follow the text URI as a link, use the Text Link. Now you just need to double-click on the text with the site address, which is not a link.
3. Image properties
Firefox has a View Image Info context menu item that shows the file format, pixel resolution, file path, signature, and weight. The weight is indicated only for cached images, which for some reason does not happen on some sites (for example, on Habré).
After closing Google Reader, I switched to Inoreader. It seems that everything you need is in place. By the way, they recently updated the design.
5. Switch tabs
For everything related to tabs, I use Tab Mix Plus. It allows you to switch tabs with the wheel, customize behavior, appearance, context menu and much more.
Also Tab Mix Plus allows you to switch tabs by ctrl + tab showing thumbnails or just with a list. At the same time, they can be switched, both in the order of use, and in a row. You can switch with the mouse.
6. Go to the next page by space
Another killer feature of the Opera is available with the Space Next extension. The bottom line is that the spacebar scrolls down the page, like the PgDn button. If you have reached the end of the page and pressed the space again, then the extension automatically goes to the next page (for example, from the first to the second on the main Habr).
7. Website loading indicator
12. Separate history for context menu of forward / backward buttons
13. Disable Extension Compatibility Checker
P.S. Please note that I don't really follow the changes in Firefox versions anymore, and some of the above may work / not work / work wrong there. Information checked on the latest stable version of Pale Moon (at the time of publication - 24.5) If you find a bug, please report it in the comments.
