    This is a development, bugfix and security update.

    • Changed storage format for certificates and passwords to SQLite.
    • Added a preference (browser.tabs.insertAllAfterCurrent) to enable always adding new tabs after the current tab, whether related or not.
    • Changed the way Firefox extensions are displayed in the add-on manager (provide a clear warning).
    • Denied other types of add-ons that aren't explicitly targeting Pale Moon's ID.
    • Improved the browser's DPI-awareness to be per-monitor instead of system-wide, on supported Windows operating systems.
    • Updated bookmark backups code with the other half of what should have been done way back when, so they work fully as-intended.
    • Added a preference (browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks) to enable immediately showing the edit dialog for new bookmarks.
      If set to true, clicking the star in the address bar will pop open the edit dialog immediately for changing details/sorting.
    • Fixed the useragent string in native mode, and updated UA code to properly respond to live changes to some preferences.
    • Tidied up front-end browser JavaScript.

    • Aligned file name extension of saved url files with other applications (lower case)
    • Fixed building with --disable-webspeech (to disable speech synthesis)
    • Added global menubar support for GTK.
    • Implemented node.getRootNode
    • Implemented AbortController (Abort API)
    • Improved the uninstaller to use elevation when prudent and actually remove program files.
    • Fixed a rare issue with editable page content.
    • Fixed a crash related to ES module scripts.
    • Aligned ES module scripting better with the current spec and removed eager instantiation.
    • Fixed a potential issue with the JPEG encoder. (CVE-2020-12422) DiD
    • Fixed a potential issue with AppCache manifests. DiD
    • Fixed a potential crash in JavaScript date parsing.
    • Fixed a problem with RSA key generation that would make it potentially vulnerable to side-channel attacks. (CVE-2020-12402)
    • Fixed a potential crash due to multithread race condition. DiD
    • Fixed a correctness issue in URL handling. (CVE-2020-12418) DiD

    Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8 update 261

    https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jre8-downloads.html

    Remark:   I personally have not used Java in years, and have not felt the loss.   
    I maintain Java at work, since some programs we use need (or at least, needed) it.

    There are also some newer versions 11.x and 14.x , which apparently offer a fuller Java Development Kit (JDK) for people creating Java applications.   I don't see JRE for 11 nor 14.
