  This is a very obscure topic.  Maybe nobody who knows about it read
that post.  I only read 3 sub-forums...

* Announcements... for new versions, etc
* Pale Moon for Linux... because I run the linux version
* Contributed builds... I do an SSE-only contributed 32-bit build.  It
  is useful for older Pentium 3 class machines, which will not run the
  regular Pale Moon build.

  I couldn't find anything about NSS logging on Google... except your
question.  I followed the instructions in your post here, and that's how
I got it to work.  I did not know about it until you told me.

  No patches required to the source code for that.  I do my own custom
manual build, to eliminate the dependancy on dbus, plus other tweaks.
That involves setting options in the mozconfig file, but no source code
changes.  If you want to do your own build, see my post on December 9th
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=13898&start=20#p100625
Note; this is version 2 of my build environment.  You should see an
attached file "pmmain.tgz" on that post.  Do not use version 1, with
(utils.tgz) in the first post of that thread.
