after not being used or updated for a few months on one of my laptops , i did an update tonight and gave it a spin or so.

My verdict:

i'm going to update the palemoon.

 

My goodness, what has happened to FireFox? Code bloat? Bad memory manager? poor programming management? They should dump that to the second tier and make Thunderbird the priority.
