Pale Moon 28.6.1 changelog:
- Improved handling of FTP resource loading (allow save-as and cater to some FTP-based browsing).
- Added a preference (security.block_ftp_subresources) to allow users to completely bypass the blocking of FTP subresources if required for their environment, if the improvements made in this release do not suffice.
- Added blocking of authentication-locked cross-origin image subresources by default to prevent spurious auth prompts.
- A preference (network.auth.subresource-http-img-XO-auth) was added to allow users to bypass this blocking if required for their environment.
- Changed the behavior of file: URIs to treat each URI as a unique origin. This prevents cross-file access from scripting.
- A preference (security.fileuri.unique_origin) was added to allow users to relax this restriction if required for their environment.
- Implemented a revised version of http2PushedStream to address some thread safety issues.
- Aligned browser behavior with mainstream regarding inner window behavior when domain is manipulated.
- Backed out a 28.5.* patch for causing multiple issues in the UI and web content.

- Fixed a type confusion issue in JavaScript Arrays. (DiD)
