Pale Moon, an alternative browser that forked from Firefox around the time that Firefox went to the "Australis" interface and is a favorite of many Soylentils, has released version 25.6.0 as of today. So what's new in Pale Moon? Let's check the changelog (I'll abbreviate to give you a quick runthrough):

Canvas anti-fingerprinting option: Pale Moon now includes the option to make canvas fingerprinting much more difficult.
Added a feature to allow icon fonts to be used even when users disallow the use of document-specified fonts (no more dreaded "boxes" with hex codes).
Added a feature to prevent screen savers from kicking in when playing full-screen HTML5 video. (Windows only for now)
The "autocomplete=off" parameter for signon forms is now completely ignored by default, to keep the user in control of their browser's behavior
Added the option to use Chrome://../skin/ overrides, in effect allowing the use of "Icon themes"
Added a count for the number of matches in the find bar

Plus many others that seems less significant to me (but click through for the full list if you'd like to make your own decisions about what's "significant").

There's also a number of security fixes, which I won't quote here but can be found after the list of non-security-related changes.
