The first fix was something I found on Oracle's patchset and allowed me to use the last Flash Player compiled for Solaris, from all the way back in 2012. Still works with most Flash content.
The second is an evolution of what I had to do to get Interlink to compile. For Interlink, I basically had to copy the contents of any boolean values from confvars.sh into the empty moz.configure file, otherwise nothing would get configured. I decided to test whether Pale Moon had the same issue, and it turned out that it wasn't as bad as on Interlink, but it was still pure luck that the browser component built at all, because MOZ_PHOENIX and other important flags were apparently not being defined at all, hence why I couldn't get half the extensions to be compatible at first.
I don't know why this is the case, but apparently configure.in isn't able to import values from confvars.sh. old-configure.in seems immune to the problem that application-specific configure.in files were experiencing, though. confvars.sh itself seems to work fine with values that aren't passed along via configure.in, though. So it's the interface between those two files that is messed up.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
Additional documentation
Additional documentation relevant to this source code can be found in the /docs
directory. This will contain relevant documentation regarding contributing,
using and distributing this code and its binaries.
If you are interested in the development and building side of things, some
information will be available on the Pale Moon developer wiki.
