For not aware PM users, there is PM specific addon Pale Moon Commander
that provides a GUI over various power user config options.

-------------------------------------
Pale Moon Commander is a Mozilla Firefox compatible extension designed
for the Pale Moon web browser. It is a configurator, meaning it will
provide a user-friendly interface to advanced preferences that would
otherwise require manual editing of parameters, which can be cumbersome
and time-consuming to do.
How to access the add-on's settings

The add-on, when installed, adds a menu item "Advanced Options..." in
two locations:

In the Application Menu (Pale Moon/Firefox button) under Options ->
Advanced Options...
In the classic menu under Tools -> Advanced Options...

Clicking this menu item will open the preferences window that has been
added by installing the add-on.

There be dragons here!

Using Pale Moon Commander to change advanced preferences is potentially
dangerous and can leave your browser profile in a potentially unusable
state. If you don't know what a setting is for, don't touch it. A number
of the preferences made accessible through the add-on can prevent proper
operation of the browser.

Because all the add-on does is change preferences, you can, at all
times, reset the preferences by starting Pale Moon with the SHIFT key
depressed, and selecting "Reset preferences to Pale Moon defaults". Of
course this will also reset any other modified preferences you may have.
Using the Reset feature in the add-on itself will have a similar result.

Use of this add-on is at all times at your own risk. I do not give
warranty or guarantees, and it is provided "as-is" although I've done my
best to make sure it works as-intended.
