The good news first: conkeror works mostly well with Pale Moon!
The only problem I encountered so far are extensions: I'm not able to
install extensions if I run conkeror with Pale Moon. I'm only able to use
extensions I had installed running conkeror with Firefox. My version of
conkeror is "1.0.4 (Debian- )".
1. Using a profile taken over from conkeror/Firefox I can use noscript
under debian jessie with Pale Moon 28.0.1 compiled for Debian jessie.
2. Using the same profile I can use noscript under ubuntu bionic with Pale
Moon 28.0.1 compiled for Debian jessie.
3. The same profile does not work under ubuntu bionic with Pale Moon
compiled for Ubuntu bionic. (noscript is shown as disabled and there is no
way to enable it.)
4. I cannot install extensions in a new profile for any combinations
mentioned so far. Maybe this is linked to the following error message I
get starting conkeror:
JavaScript error:
jar:file:///usr/lib/palemoon/omni.ja!/components/XULStore.js, line 74:

If I restart conkeror afterwards the extension is shown as installed, but
at least noscript and ublock didn't work.
Does anybody has better results with one of the alternatives to firefox?
