+VimFx is a Firefox extension which adds short, Vim-style keyboard
+shortcuts for browsing and navigation, for a near mouseless
+experience.
+
+One of key tenets of VimFx is that the standard Firefox features are
+always preferable to re-implementing similar functionality.
+
+VimFx is a legacy extension as opposite to WebExtensions. It works on
+modern versions of Firefox thanks to a shim called LegacyFox, which is
+also included in this script. Unlike WebExtensions this legacy one
+works on incompletely loaded, blank, and system pages.
+
+This script will install VimFx for all users on the system. When
+starting Firefox, users will see a yellow warning triangle above the
+hamburger menu (a button with three horizontal lines) and will be
+prompted to activate the extension.
+
+README.SBo contains details on building the package for a Firefox
+different from the stock Slackware mozilla-firefox.
