There was a long discussion on this mailing list in December 2019. Please check the list archives for details. Basically, the Pale Moon developers insist that one use private copies of a large number of libraries. If the system version of these libs are used instead, the Pale Moon devs consider that a license violation. Also, they came across as arrogant and high-handed, which was not well- received in the OI community.
