Palemoon is not abandonware, it is maintained, and I currently use it as
my primary browser and have in general much better experience than with
Firefox which simply no longer starts without any error message.

I'm not sure what kind of crashes you're referring to, but they should
be fixed so we have the only sane browser left in ports alive.
