Goanna is an open-source browser engine and part of Unified XUL Platform that was forked from Mozilla's Gecko.[1] It is used in the Pale Moon and Basilisk browsers. It underlies the Interlink mail client, Hyperbola's IceWeasel, and other UXP-based applications.[2][3] It was also unofficially ported to Windows XP for the K-Meleon browser[4] and Mypal.[5]

History

Goanna as an independent fork of Gecko was first released in January 2016.[6] The project's founder and lead developer, M. C. Straver,[7] cited technical- and trademark-related motives to do this in the context of Pale Moon's increasing divergence from Firefox.[8][9] There are two significant aspects of Goanna's divergence: it does not have any of the Rust language components that were added to Gecko during Mozilla's Quantum project,[10][11] and applications that use Goanna always run in single-process mode, whereas Firefox became a multi-process application.[12][13]
