The update involves over 250 commits, the most important of which are below.</span></span><span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: Museo500Regular, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The p</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;">rimary focus for this milestone is web compatibility, in particular Regular Expression extensions, standards compliance issues and further JPEG-XL support. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">This milestone now offers full coverage of the ECMAScript 2016-2020 JavaScript specifications, with the exception of BigInt primitives.</span></span></p><p data-xf-p="1" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">New features:</span></p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; overflow: hidden;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Implemented a restricted version of the asynchronous clipboard API (navigator.clipboard).

Although this is rarely actually used, some common JS libraries (you know who you are!) use it as a feature level canary and start loading (broken!) Promise shims if it is not found, causing compatibility issues and broken websites due to the shims.</span></li></ul><p data-xf-p="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixes:</span></p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; overflow: hidden;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Aligned microtasks and Promises scheduling with the current spec and expected behavior.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We now no longer send click events to top levels of the document hierarchy when using non-primary buttons (use auxclick, instead, to capture these events).</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Greatly improved the performance of box shadows.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Greatly improved the performance of file/data uploads over HTTP/2 (most of the secure websites out there).</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed several issues related to focus and content selection.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed issues with the use of focus-within caused by unexpected processing of DOM events.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed an issue with CSP not behaving as-expected when using importScripts(), and fixed a number of additional CSP-related issues.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed a web compatibility issue with CORS preflights not sending the original request's referrer policy or referrer header.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed a spec compliance issue with StructuredClone.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed a crash due to clamping code introduced for SetInterval and SetTimeout timers.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Fixed crashes when dynamic imports are canceled (e.g. by navigation).</span></li></ul><p data-xf-p="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Other changes:</span></p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; overflow: hidden;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Changed <input type=file> to now have its .files property be writable following a spec change and recommendation.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We are now requiring and building against the C++17 language standard.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Updated the in-tree ffvpx lib to 6.0.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Added a preference to allow users to completely disable reporting of CSP errors to webmasters. Using this is strongly discouraged as it will provide essential troubleshooting information to webmasters setting up CSP, and does not pose a privacy issue, but for those who really want it, it can now be fully disabled. The preference is security.csp.reporting.enabled.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Updated the IntersectionObserver interface to now also accept documents for the observer root instead of only HTML elements.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Cleaned up various bits of code surrounding GMP, memory allocation, system libraries, vestigial Android code, freetype2 and developer tools.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Improved efficiency of handling D3D textures.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Added initial and experimental Mac PowerPC and Big Endian support.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Changed the behavior of hung scripts. We now automatically terminate them instead of presenting the user with a dialog box (which may or may not show in a reasonable time if the browser is too busy trying to process the hung script). If you prefer the old behavior, uncheck the box "Automatically stop non-responsive scripts" in Preferences -> Content -> General</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Security issues addressed: CVE-2024-0746, CVE-2024-0741, CVE-2024-0743 DiD, CVE-2024-0750 DiD, and CVE-2024-0753.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;">UXP Mozilla security patch summary: 3 fixed, 2 DiD, 12 not applicable.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></span></li></ul><p data-xf-p="1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">*</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="color: #bf4040;">DiD</span>: This means that a fix is "Defense-in-Depth": It is a fix that does not apply to a (potentially) actively exploitable vulnerability in Pale Moon, but prevents future vulnerabilities caused by the same code, e.g. when surrounding code changes, exposing the problem, or when new attack vectors are discovered.</span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #330099; letter-spacing: 0.3px;">**Rejected security patches</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;">: This means that patches were theoretically applicable to our code but considered undesirable, which could be due to unwanted changes in behavior, known regressions caused by the patches, or unnecessary risks for stability, security or privacy.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pale Moon includes both 32- and 64-bit versions for Windows: </span><a href="https://www.palemoon.org/download.shtml?fbclid=IwAR2YsYQ2YAbSVgyFl_bk5GfMJyNy1FfvPYK9MYSCSanIHmx9U7ZspxJeImo" style="color: #336688; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;">Pale Moon for Windows downloads</span></a>.</span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span><h4><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Update:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To get the update now, select "Help" from the Pale Moon menu at the upper left of the browser window.

Eleven (11) of these vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.65px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><u>Download Information:</u> Java SE Runtime Environment Version 8u401: <a href="https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp" rel="nofollow" style="color: #336688; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp</span></a>. </span></p><p data-xf-p="1" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.65px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><u><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Java Security Recommendations</span></u></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.65px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">1) If Java is still installed on your computer, it is recommended that all updates be applied as soon as possible and older, less secure, versions uninstalled. See <a href="https://www.java.com/en/download/help/remove_olderversions.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #336688; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Why should I uninstall older versions of Java from my system?</span></a>.<br />2) In the Java Control Panel, at minimum, set the security to high.<br />3) Keep Java disabled until needed. Uncheck the box "Enable Java content in the browser" in the Java Control Panel.</span></p><h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.65px;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><u>Notes</u>:</span></span></h4><ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.65px;"><li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>UNcheck</b> any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional. Preferably, see the instructions below on how to handle "<b>Unwanted Extras</b>". </span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Oracle does not plan to migrate desktops from Java 8 to Java 9 through the auto update feature. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you uninstall JRE 8 prior to updating.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><u><b>Verify your version</b></u>: <a class="bbc_link" href="http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp" style="color: #336688; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp</span></a>. <b> Note: </b>The Java version verification page will only work if your browser has NPAPI support.
