Corrine Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you use Adblock Latitude (ABL), check extensions to make sure it has updated to ABL 3.0.1 or it may not work properly (and start blocking too much) when updating to Pale Moon 25.2. This is a required update of the extension because of one of the security updates in the new version of the browser! ABL 3.0.1 is available here: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/privacy-and-security/adblock-latitude/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
