You are looking at the Pale Moon overlay. I did not know about it |
| 9 |
when I first used Pale Moon. I originally downloaded the official |
| 10 |
version tarball from http://linux.palemoon.org/ which needs dbus. I |
| 11 |
built Pale Moon from source with several changes in the mozconfig file. |
| 12 |
I also built it with gcc 5.4.0 with additional optimization. Gentoo |
| 13 |
stable currently uses gcc 4.9.3. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
dbus was included in the original code from Firefox before the forking |
| 16 |
took place for a few reasons... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* "necko-wifi" for improved geo-location, which you probably do not want. |
| 19 |
Since Pale Moon is separate from Firefox, they don't have a licence to |
| 20 |
use Google's wifi database. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* WebRTC. I don't think it's enabled on the official version |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* "WakeLock". *IF YOU HAVE A SCREENSAVER THAT COMMUNICATES VIA DBUS* |
| 25 |
then Pale Moon can ask it to temporarily disable screensaving while |
| 26 |
you are playing a long video. |
