Thank you, xBlueRobot. I got involved with other things yesterday and forgot to post about the update. In addition to the security patches, an interesting privacy change was made:

[h=4]Privacy[/h]

• Google SafeBrowsing, which is defunct, has been removed from the browser.
  Google SafeBrowsing no longer works in Pale Moon, and still having it in the browser and enabled caused a potential privacy issue by sending the domain check to Google. Considering the limited use of the service to begin with and defunct nature, removal was the only logical option.
