Updates 10/24/14 - Pale Moon, CCleaner, Firefox

Pale Moon 25.0.2 (2014-10-24)

This is a small update to address a number of teething problems with the new milestone release.

Fixes/changes:

  • Added a "Firefox compatibility mode" selection in Options -> Advanced.
    This mode is enabled by default (reluctantly so), because too many websites (including some very big players who, themselves, promote an Open Web...) still use very poor browser detection methods based on arbitrary User Agent string comparisons, not catering to alternative browsers, and the resulting user experience being poor (being presented with mobile site layouts, broken pages, or even being flat-out refused service because someone exercises freedom of choice for web browser used). This should alleviate most, if not all, issues with browser-discriminating websites.
  • Improved active tab display on particularly dark personas.
    People using "black" personas/lightweight themes should now have a lot less difficulty distinguishing the active tab.
  • Disabled SSL 3.0 by default (to put a muzzle on the POODLE).
    Please note that this may cause issues with some poorly configured web servers (usually ones with a hopelessly broken security setup that do not support TLS 1.2 or secure (re)negotiation of the protocol).
  • Fixed add-on update issue (that was preventing update checking through addons.palemoon.org).
  • Fixed the redundant redundancy in asking redundantly if the browser would be allowed to ask to install an extension when not on addons.mozilla.org.
  • Fixed the internal UA-sniffing insanity that broke devtools in a few different and colorful ways.

Either be careful to UNcheck any pre-checked offers for bundled programs/toolbars (unless you really want them)... or else, wait a few days until the SLIM build is released.

From http://www.piriform.com/blog/2014/10/24/ccleaner-v419

This will be our last [CCleaner] version 4.x release...

Version 5 will be released in Beta very soon. All your favorite CCleaner features will remain, but with a fresh new, modern interface.

Notice that Pale Moon 25.0.2 has disabled SSL 3.0 by default.

This was done "because [SSL 3.0]  is no longer secure and can be abused for Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
(By its popular acronym, it's known as POODLE)"

As a result, you may find that some secure (https://) connections may fail.   For more information, see https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=6262

Just to add, for those using Pale Moon for XP (from Binary Outcast), that the internal update to 25.0.2 was successful.
