Pasting from my about:buildconfig :

Those are not there in my Pale Moon (in clone-machine only yet, as I explained in my other reply email to this message), again pasting from my about:buildconfig : Configure arguments --enable-application=browser --disable-install-strip --enable-optimize=-O2 --disable-valgrind --disable-dbus --disable-necko-wifi --enable-gstreamer --disable-webrtc --enable-alsa --disable-pulseaudio --enable-official-branding --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 > -- > Walter Dnes <[email protected]> > I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications > And I'm very curious to learn how to install in Air-Gapped, from git, through intermediary action, that is acceptable, but in a verifiable way, as I asked in my other reply email to this message. Just in case (pasting from about:support): Name Pale Moon Version 27.0.2 Build ID 20161218222634 ...
