レビュー
概要
Pale Moonは、Mozillaのオープンソースコードをベースに独自開発されたウェブブラウザです。オランダのMoonchild Productions(開発者:Markus Straver)によって開発されており、2009年頃にFirefoxのカスタムビルドとして始まりました。その後、Firefoxのエンジン(Gecko)から独立した独自のレイアウトエンジン「Goanna」を搭載し、完全に独立したブラウザとして進化しました。
Pale Moonはパフォーマンスと効率性を重視した設計がコンセプトです。Firefoxが段階的に廃止したクラシックなXUL/XPCOM拡張機能への対応を継続していることもあり、旧来のFirefox拡張機能ユーザーから支持されています。
主要な特徴・機能
- Goannaエンジン: FirefoxのGeckoから派生した独自レイアウトエンジンを搭載し、軽量・高速な動作を実現
- レガシー拡張機能対応: FirefoxがWebExtensionsに移行した後も、旧来のXUL/XPCOMベースのアドオンをサポート
- カスタマイズ性: インターフェースや動作を細かく設定できる高い柔軟性
- 効率的なメモリ使用: 軽量な設計で低スペックのマシンでも快適に動作
- プライバシー設定: 追跡防止やCookieの細かな管理が可能
- クラシックUIの維持: ユーザーが慣れ親しんだ伝統的なブラウザのUI/UXを維持
- W3C標準準拠: 主要なHTML5・CSS3標準を独自エンジンで実装
- Windows・Linux対応: WindowsおよびLinux向けのバイナリを提供
対象ユーザー
- 旧来のFirefoxアドオン(XUL/XPCOM拡張機能)を引き続き使いたいユーザー
- 軽量で高速なブラウザを求めるユーザー、特に低スペック・旧型PCを使用している方
- ブラウザのカスタマイズ性を重視するパワーユーザーや技術者

v34.2.2 (2026-05-01)
This is a stability and security release.
Changes/fixes:
Fixed a regression in 34.2.1 that would cause crashes to
desktop when using certain extensions or visiting certain websites.
Fixed potential security issues with audio channel mixing,
MP3 decoding (DiD),
international text display, DOM workers (DiD), reading of files (DiD), and the ANGLE graphics
library.

v34.2.1 (2026-04-28)
This is a bugfix and security release.
Note for FreeBSD users: our binaries from this version forward require
FreeBSD v14 or later.
Changes/fixes:
Fixed a regression leading to cursive languages (where
multiple characters combine) not being rendered correctly (e.g. Arabic).
Updated our cookie magic prefix handling, adding __Http-
and __Host-Http- magic prefixes and aligning our
implementation with RFC 6265bis.
Updated our Brotli library to 1.2.0+ (1.2.0 with additional
fixes).
Updated NSS to 3.90.10.0 (UXP). For clarity, the version
now carries the (UXP) label to distinguish this fork (which has
additional mitigations) from the 3.90 branch of NSS maintained by
Mozilla.
A large audit of security issues was performed. Many
security issues were addressed, including potential crash scenarios and
code correctness issues.

v34.0.1 (2026-01-22)
This is a minor release to address some critical issues in the new
milestone.
Changes/fixes:
Backed out the expat library update for causing memory
inflation and browser hang issues on XUL/XML and SVG files with
particularly large attributes.
Backed out the change of the Javascript PRNG for causing
intermittent issues and crashes on 32-bit platforms.
Both of these issues are being investigated and can hopefully re-land
with the next development release.

v34.0.0 (2026-01-20)
This is a new milestone release! There are many changes in this
milestone; the most important ones are highlighted here.
New features:
Our default theme on Windows received a refresh and update.
It should integrate better with Windows 11 now, and be more responsive
to dark accent colors, among other things.
Implemented WeakRef. See implementation notes.
Implemented URL.canParse().
Implemented the inset-block and inset-inline
CSS shorthands.
Added a preference (privacy.forgetaboutsite.clearPasswords)
to control clearing of passwords when
using "forget about this site" in the permissions manager, and disabled
clearing of passwords by default, since it was considered unexpected
behavior by the community.
Changed our JavaScript PRNG to Xoroshiro128++ to make it
more robust while keeping high performance.
Important updates and fixes:

v33.9.1 (2025-10-21)
This is a bugfix and security update.
Changes/fixes:
Temporarily backed out the implementation of CSS Cascade
Layers for causing layout issues on websites. This will re-land when
fixed.
Temporarily backed out the implementation of CSS color-mix
for causing crashes. This will re-land when fixed.
Per request from our user base, the blank page with the
Pale Moon logo (default for new tabs) will now have an appropriate
title (for e.g. identification in tab and window title).
Further improved the "copy as cURL" devtools function. (CVE-2025-11713)
Implementation notes:
There was one reported security issue (CVE-2025-11712) that
was investigated but rejected, as adoption of the mitigation for a
non-critical sec issue that requires very specific environments to be
exploited (with considerable blame for the webmaster) would, in fact,
require us to go against some very clear specifications in the HTML
standard. Mozilla adopted this primarily for behavioral parity with

v33.9.0.1 (2025-09-24)
This is a small, critical update to address issues with the browser's
stability and usability due to the 33.9.0 changes to X-Content-Type-Options:
nosniff header parsing.
Mac and FreeBSD will follow shortly when the maintainer has been able
to build the update.

See implementation notes.
Implemented axis-shorthand parsing of overflow.
This should fix some issues with areas being unscrollable on the web.
Implemented CSS color-mix (RGB and HSL color
spaces only).
Implemented CSS @supports(selector(<complex
selector>)) syntax.
Implemented CSS Cascade Layers @layer support.
Implemented support for CSS clip-path:<geometry-box>
without actually supplying a clip path to use. See implementation notes.

v33.8.2 (2025-08-26)
This is a minor development, security and bugfix release.
Changes/fixes:
Changed the way the address bar focus is handled when
navigating to a fragment (#hash or anchor) within an existing URL. It
will now re-focus the page the same way a normal address navigation
would (resetting the "editing" state, unless the user is actively
typing).
Implemented support for the :focus-visible
CSS pseudo-class.
Fixed a potential race condition in font tables. DiD
Fixed potential issues with pthread allocations. DiD
Fixed an issue in NSS related to the PKCS12 decoder.
Security issues addressed: CVE-2025-9181 and several others
that do not have a CVE number.
