+palemoon (Web browser -- BUILD FROM SOURCE)
+
+This SlackBuild builds Pale Moon from source.
+For a binary repackage, see 'palemoon' at SlackBuilds.org.
+
+Pale Moon is an Open Source, Goanna-based web browser available for
+Microsoft Windows and Linux (with other operating systems in
+development), focusing on efficiency and ease of use.
+
+This SlackBuild attempts to compile, build and package Pale Moon,
+Slackware style, in a manner that conforms to official Pale Moon Linux
+releases; while, at the same time, providing useful and easy ways to
+deviate if desired. This SlackBuild may conflict with the alternative
+SlackBuild known, here at SBo, as "palemoon"; which repackages binaries
+offically released by the Pale Moon devs.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To package this version of Pale Moon for installation along side any other
+version of Pale Moon, (such as the before mentioned version known here as
+"palemoon") pass the script the parameter:
+
+ APPEND_VERSION_SUFFIX=yes
+
+See http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:software:palemoon for additional tips and
+help resources.
+
+Using the Oxygen theme is known to cause Pale Moon to crash; if you are
+experiencing crashes, and segfaults, make sure you are not using this theme;
+or use Alienbob's patched oxygen-gtk2; which will fix this issue.
+http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/oxygen-gtk2/build/
+See the help doc link above for other creative tips and workarounds.
+
+It is recommended that Pale Moon be compiled with gcc 4.9.4. Compiling Pale
+Moon with any other compiler may result in an unstable build. Look for
+gcclegacy494 here on SBo.
+
+A native fork of FireFox's developer tools exists as an external add-on or
+internally. Pale Moon by default ships with the developer tools internally;
+if this is undesirable, dev tools can be disabled by passing the script the
+parameter:
+
+ DEVTOOLS=no ./palemoon.SlackBuild
+
+Pale Moon's default is to build, ship, and use its own internal dictionary;
+if desired, however, do USE_SYSTEM_HUNSPELL=yes ./palemoon.SlackBuild, to
+use the Slackware system Hunspell instead. This assumes you have dictionaries
+such as hunspell-en or hunspell-es installed in /usr/share/hunspell -- the
+location that a few SlackBuilds at SBo install them.
+
+To remove the "AdNauseam" extension from the Pale Moon blocklist, do
+
+ ADNAUSEAM=unblock ./palemoon.SlackBuild
+
+To remove the "NoScript" extension from the Pale Moon blocklist, do
+
+ NOSCRIPT=unblock ./palemoon.SlackBuild
+
+Note: The most up-to-date version of the NoScript campatible with Pale Moon can
+be found here: https://noscript.net/getit#classic
+
+If your processor doesn't support sse2 instructions or you get segfaults,
+try looking in the SlackBuild for the OPTIMIZE build option (eventually
+refer to the Pale Moon developers for help).
+
+To enable debug information, pass the script the parameter
+
+ ENABLE_DEBUG=yes
