It should be noted that it is not necessary to install Pale Moon to use it.
It is distributed as an bzipped tarball which can be extracted anywhere and run by executing the "palemoon" file inside it.


http://linux.palemoon.org/help/faq/#portable

Is there a portable version of Pale Moon for Linux?

A Windows "PortableApps" style application is not possible due to filesystem permission restrictions on Linux.

However, if you mean "portable" as in no installation needed, Pale Moon for Linux is already in such a state! Just grab the archive you want,
extract it anywhere you like and run the "palemoon" file.


For your reading pleasure, more install-ish stuffs here: http://linux.palemoon.org/help/installation/

FWIW, here, I see a post dated Nov 12, 2015 announcing "Slackbuilds.org now has a Pale Moon slackbuild"
http://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=37

also FWIW, in case you care about privacy/cleanup
palemoon shits it files "all over the place" and, last I checked, bleachbit doesn't know locations for the various palemoon cleanup targets
(macromedia/flash .sol cookies, mozilla cache, sqlite files for vacuuming, etc.)

Sorry, I should have included this information at the beginning. I opted for the non-installation.

Download the bzipped tarball (32 or 64 bit version)
https://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/

Extract it in your home (or a subdirectory)
Code:
tar -xvjf palemoon*.bz2


and run the executable. (adjust the path if you used a subdirectory.)
Code:
palemoon/palemoon        # from the terminal you used to extract it.
/home/user/palemoon/palemoon     # use full path if you make a panel button


You can make a .desktop file for it, and it'll show up in the menu and in the list of applications you can add to the panel. I modified the one for iceweasel. Adjust the Exec line if you used a subdir. And copy the icon from wherever it is in the unpacked tarball to /usr/share/pixmaps (or adjust the Icon path in the .desktop file to point to wherever the icon file is.)

/usr/share/applications/palemoon.desktop

Getting on fine here with palemoon. I've been looking for something like this, thanks for the info. Suits me it all runs from ~.

The weasel is now purged but I suppose i'll have to reinstall it as I didn't take any benchmark tests vs. palemoon.
