Web Browser Palemoon for Novohit POS or SPACES

As of Nov 1, 2020 Novohit has released its own browser version for Novohit POS or SPACES with Windows. It replaces Firefox ESR or any other browser used for POS or Novohit SPACES.
For now it is only necessary to install Palemoon for SPACES on Windows or Firefox ESR on Mac OS X (Catalina) with Intel Chip.

SPACES may not be compatible with Windows 11. We are working on a version compatible with Windows 11.

Frequent Situations in Windows

These instructions apply for all clients using POS or SPACES, regardless of whether it is Touch or not.

If after installing in Program Files in Windows 10, you get an error message when running that Palemoon is already running, consider this to be an operating system permissions issue. This depends on your particular OS configuration.

Additional Considerations for Windows

  1. Remember that this browser is self-executing (portable), so it does not require an installation process. Wherever you decide to place the directory, make sure you do not delete it.
  2. Where you decide to place the directory, make sure it is not deleted.
  3. That users use only this browser and not Firefox for POS, so if you have destined a PC for POS, you can uninstall Firefox and Flash Player as well.
