After a few months of development, the Pale Moon browser has released its latest iteration. Along with security features, the key release for this version seems to be centered around expanding the browser's media support.
Offtopic, but somehow relevant: they also published the results of their survey in March. The feedback says a lot about the browser's user base, and highlights the direction the team will take in the future.

Since all my CPUs are an AthlonXP+2400 running XP sp3 POSReady my only options are FF ESR 45.9.0 or IE8.
And FireFox ESR won't update anymore either. So really I'm stuck with IE8.
Was quite happy with PaleMoon until 26.5.0. Since PaleMoon as FF now needs SSE2 and can't run the newer versions anymore.
No light versions for old systems. :(

Eh. I'm still on 26.5.0, because 27 breaks several of my favorite extensions that I couldn't find a replacement for. No real complaints, and even without the recent security fixes I use enough security extensions that I'm probably still safer than 99% of other users.

Have you checked the PM extension collection recently? They've been forking quite a few compatibility versions of popular extensions. On my last upgrade FF Tree-Style Tabs died and I was surprised to find a PM version.

Not recently, no. It's been quite a few months.
I think Tree Style Tab was one of those broken extensions that made me return to v26. I should probably test the new version again... sigh.

I was pleasantly surprised that swapping out the FF for the PM version remembered all my settings, too. They really did a good job.

Re-compiling may be an option for you.
May take a while though.
They mistakenly assume that any CPU without SSE2 is so slow as to be useless (Pentium III or slower?), while forgetting about the awesome Athlons from ~10 years ago.
Clock for clock, the P-III's were faster than the P4 series...
