I'm a volunteer with Pale Moon, but I don't speak for the project |
| 10 |
officially. Let's just say I disagree with that statement. Updates |
| 11 |
usually bump the version number by 0.0.1, unlike Firefox. The Pale Moon |
| 12 |
26.x series from Jan 26, 2016 to Sep 28, 2016 had... |

|
| 14 |
26.0.0, 26.0.2, 26.0.3, 26.1.0, 26.1.1, 26.2.0, 26.2.1, 26.2.2, 26.3.0, |
| 15 |
26.3.1, 26.3.2, 26.3.3, 26.4.0, 26.4.1, 26.5.0 |

Firefox's higher version numbers are due to Firefox's Chrome-like |
| 18 |
version numbering scheme. If anything, Pale Moon is arguably more |
| 19 |
secure, due to a smaller attack surface... no WebRTC, no Hello, no |
| 20 |
Pocket, etc. Pale Moon was originally forked from Firefox, but is |
| 21 |
diverging under the hood. It is not Firefox, and never will be Firefox |
| 22 |
again. |
