What exactly is the advantage of Palemoon over Firefox?
Palemoon is forked from an older release of Firefox, mindful of security
and occasionally updated to a newer release base. As such, it is a lot
lighter on system resources so quicker to respond.
I was won over to Palemoon for reading some basic, non-demanding text
sites, where Firefox 89 suddenly seemed to struggle with the formatting
and developed an inability to scroll smoothly (under a condition of
multiple windows and tabs open). e.g. for
https://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/unnoticeable and webmail (though it
is working fine again just now, with most Firefox windows having been
closed).
3. Tracked down the runaway kworker/acpi interrupt fault that could
be stopped then added as a reboot chron job stop.
More details please.

- While de-loading my PC I noticed this program was keeping one of the
four cores running at a constant figure towards 95%, or almost 25% of
the total excessive load. I followed the instructions above and on a
Linux Mint forum to stop this busy root PID permanently. A much smoother
idling nice now.
4. Found the last contributing Firefox blow-out to be due to this
shopify / google api website, made safe inside a Chromium tab
instead: chamsyslighting.com
Install uMatrix into firefox, and get powerful and detailed control
over
what shite is and isn't loaded into the web pages you visit. One of the
best UIs I've ever seen too.

Good tip thank you. I will look into this.
