This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central) with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its own development and holds the base for a maintained platform to be used by XUL applications.
Additional documentation relevant to this source code can be found in the /docs
directory. This will contain relevant documentation regarding contributing,
using and distributing this code and its binaries.
If you are interested in the development and building side of things, some information will be available on the Pale Moon developer site. You are also always welcome to get in touch with our community on the Pale Moon forum.
While our repo has basic code searching capabilities (via git grep), you are strongly
encouraged to instead use the dedicated code search and cross-referencing site:

This repository has been founded by Moonchild (M.C. Straver) and is maintained by him and other community members. If you fork this repository to perform your own work on it, please consider offering improvement patches upstream to its origin to mutually improve the platform and build a future for XUL.
As of Issue #969, release version 28.9.0,
applications have been split off into their own dedicated (front-end) repositories, with Pale Moon located at
MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon.
