  I build my own.  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 <location>/palemoon
tar -C <location> -xvjf <tarball_name>.bz2

# If <location> is /usr/local or /opt
ln -sf <location>/palemoon/palemoon /usr/bin/palemoon

# If <location> is in your home directory
ln -sf <location>/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.
