Debug symbols: If you want to debug Windows release builds and need the debug symbols for it, you can find the symbols for individual releases matching the release binaries at the archival site as well.

Note: The source code archive above is for the main-line x86/x64 release version of Pale Moon. If you are interested in other development branches or other code points, then please check the git repository linked to below where you can find additional archives.

If you want to contribute: The source code archives are snapshots of the actual releases of Pale Moon, and since it is being actively developed, any patches you may want to contribute should usually not be made against these source code archives, but against the working development branch instead. This can be found in the live repository on GitHub at the following URL, which also has archives available for all tagged releases:

And for patches applicable to the UXP platform that Pale Moon builds on:

Hints for building Pale Moon 28 yourself

Please use binaries supplied by us where possible, since we cannot provide much (if any) support for user-created builds with untested configurations or builds in unknown environments.
Basic instructions can be found on our developer site for Windows and Linux

As a temporary exception, we offer hybrid source snapshots for 28.9 for those people who have some trouble adjusting to using git submodules on the archive server.
