This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a maintained platform to be used by XUL
applications.
Additional documentation
Additional documentation relevant to this source code can be found in the /docs
directory. This will contain relevant documentation regarding contributing,

If you are interested in the development and building side of things, some
information will be available on the Pale Moon developer site.
You are also always welcome to get in touch with our community on the Pale Moon forum.
Code search
While our repo has basic code searching capabilities (via git grep), you are strongly
encouraged to instead use the dedicated code search and cross-referencing site:
