Those are not there in my Pale Moon (in clone-machine only yet, as I |
| 35 |
explained in my other reply email to this message), again pasting from |
| 36 |
my about:buildconfig : |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Configure arguments |
| 39 |
--enable-application=browser --disable-install-strip |
| 40 |
--enable-optimize=-O2 --disable-valgrind --disable-dbus |
| 41 |
--disable-necko-wifi --enable-gstreamer --disable-webrtc --enable-alsa |
| 42 |
--disable-pulseaudio --enable-official-branding |

Just in case (pasting from about:support): |
