 Why these people don't understand how CLoudflare works?
 They can't handle encrypted data. It must be decrypted to check data.

 Cloudflare decrypt the incoming data, test it, (collect it), then
 reencrypt and send to original server(if "Full mode" ssl).

 Now I hate Palemoon too. I'll tell this to other people. Ty Palemoon.
