Phoebus 2.0 Lands!20190218.0607
The Second Generation Add-ons Site promised long long ago went live this past Saturday. It not only serves the Pale Moon browser but also the other allied UXP applications.
Instead of fiddling with ini-based manifest files and an ftp client you can now sign up, submit, and update your extensions and themes via a simple to use web interface! It takes only seconds to do about anything.
Of course the Pale Moon Add-ons Site is up, but also checkout the associated Add-ons Sites for Basilisk and Interlink! Additionally, Ambassador's Stand-alone application will get the same treatment in the very near future. As will Borealis Navigator when it hits its first release.
Stay tuned!
Allied Unified XUL Platform Applications
-
Pale Moon by Moonchild Productions
Pale Moon offers you a browsing experience in a browser completely built from its own, independently developed source that has been forked off from Firefox/Mozilla code a number of years ago, with carefully selected features and optimizations to improve the browser's stability and user experience, while offering full customization and a growing collection of extensions and themes to make the browser truly your own.
-
Basilisk by Moonchild Productions
Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla code base without Servo or Rust.
-
Ambassador IRC Client by Ascrod aka Isengrim
Ambassador is a fork of the ChatZilla IRC client built upon the Unified XUL Platform. It features a simple, straighforward interface with a number of options for customization and extensibility. It is available as an add-on compatible with other applications built upon UXP, and as a stand-alone package that can be installed and run independently of a browser.

-
Icedove-UXP by Hyperbola Project
Icedove-UXP is a mail application with RSS and calendar support built on the Unified XUL Platform. Originally inspired by Debian branding, and forked from Thunderbird 52's XUL layout, this application seeks to maintain a stable mail client while removing support for anti-features and SaaSS.
