It can be installed entirely, including browser and libraries in /usr/local/palemoon or /opt/palemoon, or even in $HOME/palemoon. "Updates" consist of... rm -rf /palemoon tar -C -xvjf .bz2 # If is /usr/local or /opt ln -sf /palemoon/palemoon /usr/bin/palemoon # If is in your home directory ln -sf /palemoon/palemoon $HOME/bin/palemoon The Pale Moon for linux support sub-forum is at... https://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=37 The Tycho beta forum (upcoming version 27) is at https://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=56 Ask on the linux sub-forum forum if you need help building it. One advantage of "roll-your-own" is being able to delete/disable stuff that is standard on the mainstream build. There are a whole slew of "--enable" and "--disable" options. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
