yes. forks are a LOT of work. Even Devuan, which I'd say is a
relatively easy fork, mostly needing work on the infrastructure and
testing and documentation side, was more demanding than expected.

palemoon is stuck at "version 27" series of Firefox and in any case
its in the 2x series I doubt it can be brought up to 50 since the
codebase is rather different.

said that, I'm happy with palemoon, using always the latest stable
release tagged on the git tree, compiling it myself on Devuan and then
github.com/dyne/tinfoil for sandboxing. here the mozconfig I use,
please note I do not disable pulseaudio or dbus, because that gives
problems, yet I do not use pulseaudio (but I do use dbus...)
