For your reading pleasure, more install-ish stuffs here: http://linux.palemoon.org/help/installation/
FWIW, here, I see a post dated Nov 12, 2015 announcing "Slackbuilds.org now has a Pale Moon slackbuild"
http://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=37
also FWIW, in case you care about privacy/cleanup
palemoon shits it files "all over the place" and, last I checked, bleachbit doesn't know locations for the various palemoon cleanup targets
(macromedia/flash .sol cookies, mozilla cache, sqlite files for vacuuming, etc.)

Sorry, I should have included this information at the beginning. I opted for the non-installation.
Download the bzipped tarball (32 or 64 bit version)
https://linux.palemoon.org/download/mainline/
Extract it in your home (or a subdirectory)

Code:
  `tar -xvjf palemoon*.bz2`

and run the executable. (adjust the path if you used a subdirectory.)

Code:
  `palemoon/palemoon # from the terminal you used to extract it.
  /home/user/palemoon/palemoon # use full path if you make a panel button`

You can make a .desktop file for it, and it'll show up in the menu and in the list of applications you can add to the panel. I modified the one for iceweasel. Adjust the Exec line if you used a subdir. And copy the icon from wherever it is in the unpacked tarball to /usr/share/pixmaps (or adjust the Icon path in the .desktop file to point to wherever the icon file is.)
/usr/share/applications/palemoon.desktop

Code:

Getting on fine here with palemoon. I've been looking for something like this, thanks for the info. Suits me it all runs from ~.
The weasel is now purged but I suppose i'll have to reinstall it as I didn't take any benchmark tests vs. palemoon.
