THE PETTICOAT REBELLION OF 1916
WOMEN GAIN RIGHT TO VOTE, SUCCEED IN OVERTHROWING GOVERNMENT
Or something like that, might have been Newspaper Headlines of the day.
The real story is that on December 5th, 1916, the polls opened at 8:00am in the small town of Umatilla, Oregon, for a municipal election. And there was not a woman in sight.
Until.
At 2pm, the women showed up in droves and with write-in ballots, they proceeded to elect an all-woman council: a coup d'etat, of sorts.

Thanks, but the desktop version of Firefox is still working fine for me for now, and it still has official support for Linux, unlike Palemoon. (I'm aware of the unofficial PM Linux builds.) I might have to switch later but for now I'm sticking with Debian's ESR builds of FF.
I believe you missed that the discussion was about mobile browsers, though, unless you're just extremely eager to bring up PM in conversations ;)

I'm talking about the mobile version of Palemoon that I use on my cellphone and on my tablet.
I use SeaMonkey on the desktop.

Oh cool, didn't know they started doing that. I'll keep that in mind if Mozilla completely shits up the mobile browser, though I currently have no reason to switch since I haven't had any issues with mobile Firefox since I replaced the 2011-era tablet. Kind of doubt it would matter though, since that tile bug was happening even as far back as 2012ish.
Thanks for the heads up. Now they just need to start officially supporting Linux so that maybe it can start getting into distro repos before the Firefox ESR releases go off the plot like the mainline versions are starting to.
