PaleMoon and CCleaner

[bawldiggle]

I have just read Ccleaner not cleaning Palemoon cookies.sqlite ... didn't want to hijack "cartel's" thread,

 

(Installed) Pale Moon -- my preferred browser

-  IE gets used about every few months, although I know IE is used in the background by MS and other 3rd party programs

-  IE is used by VBA to load clipboard with text too.

Running portable CCleaner v5.05.5176.
-  no sign of "PaleMoon in Cleaner ->  Applications

With only one browser open, Palemoon ... CCleaner  showed this alert while cleaning Applications

-  IE is-not/was-not open

 

PaleMoon is no longer a fork of Firefox (for several months). Palemoon has its own GUID and is no longer associated with Firefox.

-  although PaleMoon is mozilla based.

Q1: Are my problems the "portable" version ?

Q2: PaleMoon not listed in Cleaner ->  Applications ?

Q1: How can I close Firefox when it is not open ?

-----------

EDIT: Correction

Palemoon portable has the old FireFox fork GUID

Installed Palemoon has its own separate GUID

Source: from various posts at Palemoon forum

EDIT2:  I am no a programmer nor pretend to be a PaleMoon expert ... just a FireFox Australis refugee

If you're using Palemoon Portable you'd have to tell CCleaner where to look, if that's not the case and you're instead using the install version of Palemoon that could mean that a registry key has changed to detect it and CCleaner would need an update to detect that new location.
