Well the install was hard :) tar and then run all under my userid. If plays 
safeport.com (not a high bar); my bank (pickest site ever with 2FA) and a 
very complex wordpress site. For the wordpress site it plays a huge home 
page video background its very choppy.

On the other hand there is no need to ask questions about palemoon, just 
try it. I do not have a top tier ISP where I am currently but firefox plays 
the wp site okay. Both use about the same amount of CPU

When starting I get an error:
(pale moon:49815): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: 14:24:22.138: 
remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor is 
not supported

YMMV
