    I've tried Pale Moon, but it never seemed to be any better than Firefox

    Except that its UI isn't all fucked up? Which was the entire reason to start using Pale Moon in the first place?

    Well, I remember finding Pale Moon as it originally was-- an optimized build of firefox for specific processors, from when Mozilla disallowed using their trademarks for modified versions. However, Moonchild's decision to fork over the UI overhaul is why most people, myself included, use it.

    Maybe, I've just grown accustomed to having to adopt random UI changes, then. With the XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 10 changes, and all the Window Server iterations. Then there's all of the Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Puppy Linux, and Arch UI changes / reversions. I can even muddle my way around OSX, if given the need. Back to strictly browser UI changes, I did find it a bit annoying that they changed the history icon with the most recent version, but again I shall adapt. I would rather see things being refreshed, kept up-to-date, and thriving. Perhaps, Firefox needs these changes to stay relevant and continue adding new young users to the mix. Maybe, they're full of crazy, and they will eventually implode. Currently, I don't see the latter. In any case, to each their own, and I'm glad there can be a fork of Firefox.
