I've been using it on CentOS-7.x for awhlie. It accepts most firefox plugins and works quite well. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

I even vaguely remember someone mentioned it to me a while ago (you?). It fell off my attention probably because my main workstation is FreeBSD (and such is my laptop). But I'm sure, I will have no problem building palemoon. So, few months from now most likely I will have it s my main browser (if so I probably will volunteer to maintain palemoon FreeBSD port, unless someone else does). Thanks a lot!
