-  * The theme [[ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733324#c9| "Oxygen gtk" (liboxygen-gtk.so) has been known to cause crashes in FireFox ]], and, in my experience does cause random crashes in Pale Moon. In my experience, the likelihood of crashing increases when an attempt to access history is made. As far as I know, this bug only effects FireFox and Pale Moon if the gtk 2 version of this theme is used. There is some question to whether or not this is a palemoon bug (old FireFox bug), or a bug in the theme itself.+  * The theme [[ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733324#c9| "Oxygen gtk" (liboxygen-gtk.so) has been known to cause crashes in FireFox ]], and, in my experience does cause random crashes in Pale Moon.

   * It appears that the Oxygen theme in KDE when used causes Pale Moon to crash; apparently, if the appearance in KDE is changed from "Oxygen" to something else the crashes cease to happen.   * It appears that the Oxygen theme in KDE when used causes Pale Moon to crash; apparently, if the appearance in KDE is changed from "Oxygen" to something else the crashes cease to happen.

-  - Arguable the best solution would be to install a patched oxygen theme that does not suffer from the bug that causes Pale Moon to crash. aleinBOB provides a patched oxygen theme; which can be found [[http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/oxygen-gtk2/|here]].+  - Arguably the best solution would be to install a patched oxygen theme that does not suffer from the bug that causes Pale Moon to crash. alienBOB provides a patched oxygen theme; which can be found [[http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/oxygen-gtk2/|here]].
   - The most obvious work around is to use a theme other than Oxygen, or at the very least, find a version of the Oxygen theme that does not cause Pale Moon to crash or segfault (if there is such a version).    - The most obvious work around is to use a theme other than Oxygen, or at the very least, find a version of the Oxygen theme that does not cause Pale Moon to crash or segfault (if there is such a version). 
   - Anther possible work around is to only change the theme Pale Moon is using (so that only Pale Moon is not using the Oxygen gtk theme) -- to do this, enter the following command into a terminal (for example): <code>GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc palemoon-27.9.3</code>   - Anther possible work around is to only change the theme Pale Moon is using (so that only Pale Moon is not using the Oxygen gtk theme) -- to do this, enter the following command into a terminal (for example): <code>GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc palemoon-27.9.3</code>
