'''MyPalMypal''' is a fork of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox Mozilla Firefox] ported to Windows XP by [https://github.com/Feodor2 Feodor2]. The latest version is based on Firefox 68 Quantum. The browser was previously based on another fork, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale%20Moon Pale Moon], before switching to Firefox Quantum.
 
== Versions ==
=== Legacy MyPalMypal ===
Versions before 68 were based on Pale Moon, another Firefox fork. The latest and final version was <code>29.3.0</code> based on the respective version of Pale Moon. Like all browsers based on [https://github.com/MoonchildProductions/UXP UXP], it uses the Goanna rendering engine, a fork of [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Gecko Gecko]. Due to the Pale Moon developers disliking the creation of forks for the use on Windows XP, and older operating systems in general, they decided all of a sudden that the browser was no longer in line with the MPL (Mozilla Public License), and therefore created a GitHub issue to complain about it. This, as well as the developer realizing that porting Quantum to XP was more feasable than previously thought, caused the switch to Quantum.
=== Quantum ===
 
== Use on [[CollabVM]] ==
Mypal is the default browser on [[VM2]], Running Quantum Mypal. Before the switch, it used legacy MyPalMypal.
