I switched to Palemoon a few weeks ago. After 10+ years FF
had de facto become unusable for me, after I lost the last
battle against the brain dead design decisions made by its
developers. What a relief being again able to access the web
using a browser that simply works just like FF should work
(and did, in the past)! No more (noticeable) memory leakage
in the program itself, no more mind-boggling massive Xorg
resource leakage, quick to start up, responsive to user
actions. A browser as it should be — i.e. not getting in the
way of the user.

Steven Pusser still maintains up to date debian (and ubuntu)
packages, see:
