I should probably talk to Moonchild about putting them back up, but for the moment the instructions are on my personal site:
https://dbsoft.org/whitestar-build-mac.php
Basically just change it from White Star to Pale Moon.
CODE:
git clone https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon.git ./git submodule init && git submodule updategit checkout release && git submodule update
.mozconfig
CODE:
