The first thing to do, after you have downloaded Pale Moon, is to turn off your internet connection. Then
2020-02-07 09:12:15 +02:00
install the browser and change the homepage to something else. In the "options" dialog:
< / p >
2020-02-08 10:09:18 +02:00
< img src = "../images/pm_hp.png" alt = "Pale moon options screen" >
2020-02-07 09:12:15 +02:00
< p >
The next step is to disable update checking, you can do that like this:
< / p >
2020-02-08 10:09:18 +02:00
< img src = "../images/pm_ud.png" alt = "Pale moon options screen" >
2020-02-07 09:12:15 +02:00
< p >
Finally, these settings should be changed in about:config:
