For one thing N3 it is never a good idea to have folders on your desktop. It slows down the bootup and drags down the system.
But I see no reason what browser you use should have anything to do with that performance.

Starbuck & Rich....When i look up various sites on the internet (using the firefox browser) & i want to keep that site & similar sites, i will make a folder or folders on my desktop . Example: Fishing Folder, Electronics Folder, Forums Folder, etc. The problem is, after i downloaded "Pale Moon" the folders previously made with the firefox browser would not open using the pale moon browser.

Why not just bookmark the sites you want to keep, N3? Wouldn't that be easier?

I am starting to have more and more issues with Pale Moon. Today I couldn't open any pdfs again which happens every once in a while and I also had java issues on my broker site. I am about ready to go back to Chrome again.
Cindy........It's "presently" easier for me to categorize my similar sites in the same folders than to place them in bookmarks. Possibly i could do the same in "Bookmarks" but may be ignorant in knowing how to do so.

Not sure what you mean abbreviated N3. You know you can make folders inside Bookmarks or favorites N3?
Thank you Rich, i was not aware that one can make folders inside bookmarks or favorites. I'm now trying to decide between Opera, Chrome or Internet Explorer. To me it appears that IE is the simpler one of the three but it's open towards malware exploitation. I'm also considering other unknown browsers that are listed in the "gizmo's" freeware site. http://www.techsupportalert.com/

N3 I strongly urge you to forget the somewhat unknown browsers, my experience with Pale Moon is showing me they don't have the versatility or the broad spectrum solutions FF and Chrome do even though they may seem to be more stable. The issues I was having with FF seemed to be major things like flash player or java issues that went unnoticed for countless new versions of FF. When I got to Pale Moon and had only the one issue which is pdf treatment I decided I could live with that but now I have bank statements I have to close and reopen in Chrome to see a check kin and then I stay there because its dumb to go back and forth. But now I am seeing sites I cannot buy things on and have no trouble in IE. But IE bothers me # 1 because it is such a giant target and the fact that while it has the addons now where Adblock Plus is available along with WOT and Last Pass, in order to work they all want to be in startup so I wind up slowing the whole pc down in order to use the plugins in IE. Without them the IE password saver and adware or popup prevention is the worst of any browser I have ever tried and I just feel the stiffness of an unchanging look and unbending gui that I find extremely boring and in my way a lot.
I dislike the looks of Chrome more than any of them but I can design my own themes and in a way not having all the "crap" bars gives you the most space to browse in but I find it awkward getting to all the settings yet I was quite used to it before so I am sure I will be again.
I just think there are way too many flaws in Pale Moon and Firefox gets really buggy just when I settle in and get used to it again.

I like Internet Explorer, I teethed on it beginning with IE4. It has everything I want or need and with the proper layered security for protection, I have never been infected. (Except when I have deliberately set out to be for testing purposes.)
IE has come a long way in recent years.
I have to admit that if i run Task Manager and check the CPU usage..... IE uses a lot less that Firefox or Pale Moon.

Rich....After all the years reading about various browsers & anti malware programs etc; i have come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING is a compromise. Any browser or anti malware program that an individual chooses will have some deformity, some kink in the armor, some negative aspect to it's personality that we hate! Others & yourself have experienced all the major browsers & have yet to find one that will suit you. We try to adapt to a program's faults & then leave it & try something else. Eventually we come back to where we started, the one that "we believe" has the minimum problems. We leave, come back, leave, come back! The never ending search! I have decided to top searching & will stick with Internet Explorer regardless of the ramifications. AMEN!

I cannot refute your logic N3.
Keep project browsers as a play toy only. Do not ever do any critical functions with them. You can, but at your own risk and your own expertise. I like pale moon but as much as it's slim, and efficient, it's also not fully secure. And, I mean that in the way of total un-regulation and lack of visibility and culpability.

Pale Moon sure will but not sure about the others N3.
