    I have using been pale moon. I could have up to 80 tabs open. Yes i know that's way way waaaay too many. So the browser will freeze. I wanted to see if avant ultimate would handle that any better. But I only ended up copying over 6 or 7. I used the firefox rendering engine. I installed some of the addons I use with pale moon such as tabhunter, which although it installed didn;t show up when i right clicked on a page. Oh, ok, (i'm back in pale moon now) you have to click the tools menu to bring that up. But I'm not sure how I would bring that up in avant.
    Another firefox addon i use in palemoon is the discontinued BYeTubeD. It allows you download multiple videos at once including soft subs. It's probably the best youtube downloader addon for firefox, it has two methods of downloading, enque or generate links. I tried enque in avant but it wouldn't work. I tried generate links. But I neeed to install flashgot for that. But it wouldn't connect to the flashgot site. it also wouldn't connect to hola.
    Another problem i have in pale moon, although I know it's exclusively a problem with that browser is when you go to play a youtube video and you get "an error has occured" message. For some reason i thought that wouldn't happen in avant browser. it did.
    Did avant browser freeze on me.
    I guess it didn't. but i had to reload pages.
    I never did get a chance to check how it would fare with up to 80 tabs open as compared to pale moon.
    I don't like where the menu is. I like the classic menu ie on top of the screen. But maybe there
    is an option to do that. but if there wasn't, i might get used to the current menu eventually.
    If I was to try it out again, i would need to be able to get tabhunter or a similar firefox addon to work in it.
    a video resumer addon would have to work.
    it would have to be able to handle all those tabs better than pale moon.
    As for hola and byetubed. i guess i can always use those in palemoon. Well hola, i can use in any browser.
    specific questions.
    how could i import my pale moon settings into avant browser.
    how do i bring up tab hunter in avant. In pale moon, it's in the tools menu.
    NOte. I have registered on the avant browser forum. But I can't log in. I have contacted the board adminstrator but as of yet, no reply.
    One thing I would like about avant is the ability to watch videos fullscreen without anything getting in your way.

    Hi

    80 tabs open I'm lucky if I can read 4 at once on my dual screen desktop pc.

    I dont know what your question is here but I would say that as a PC user us have to test out multiple software's to fine one you like or does what you need, sadly they don't, most will some some of the functions you like.

    Sadly migrating settings to various browsers is difficult as they are all different, and at times apart from bookmarks its worth manually setting a browser to your preferred settings, but not favoured settings will be available.

    Those two browsers are based on different engines, so their settings are not compatible.
    Pale Moon is based on Gecko (Firefox) and Avant is based on Trident (Internet Explorer).

    You can Export your Bookmarks from Pale Moon by going to
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export bookmarks to HTML

    Then import the saved bookmarks.html file into Avant.
