+@Browser@ for Debian
+====================
+
+Please read the file /usr/share/bug/@browser@/presubj for information
+you may want to know if you will report a bug.
+
+Buttons
+-------
+
+Some people have complained that the button order in dialogs is
+non-intuitive (ie, they don't like it). To reverse the order, add the
+following to your chrome/userChrome.css file, under the
+~/.mozilla/firefox directory:
+
+.dialog-button-box { -moz-box-direction: reverse; -moz-box-pack: right; }
+.dialog-button-box spacer { display: none ! important; }
+
+Emacs keybindings
+-----------------
+
+Versions of Firefox before 1.0 supported Emacs style keybindings in
+text entry boxes. Version 1.0 now merely follows the GTK keybindings
+settings. To enable Emacs keybindings in GTK, follow the instructions
+at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Emacs_Keybindings_(Firefox).
+
+Well Known Ports
+----------------
+
+To prevent @Browser@ from being used to launch attacks against other
+protocols, certain ports cannot be connected to by default. See
+http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/PortBanning.html for further
+information. To allow the port numbers being used, enter
+"about:config" in the URL bar and edit the
+"network.security.ports.banned.override" entry to list the ports you
+wish to allow (eg "2049,4045,6000").
+
+Safe Browsing
+-------------
+
+Phishing and malware protection, also known as Safe Browsing, makes use
+of a third party web service and regularly downloads updates. More
+information on how this works and what is being sent and downloaded are
+available on the following page:
+http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
+
+NTLM
+----
+
+Since version 30.0, NTLMv1 authentication has been disabled because
+it's known as insecure. Companies and organizations still deploying
+the older protocol should upgrade to NTLMv2, unfortunately, it's not
+supported by @Browser@.
+It is however still possible to toggle the preference to continue using
+NTLMv1, though the NTLM auth support is considered deprecated, by
+switching the network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 preference
+in about:config.
+
+See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/30/Site_Compatibility#Security
+for more details.
