Consolidate configuration info from MESSAGE and DESCR into new README.OpenBSD.
MESSAGE now refers to it. Install in binary directory as simplest place.
Do not bump minor as there's no library changes -- right?
Comments from kurt, wilfried and jmc, I've (hopefully) incorporated what they
meant.

+If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads,

+start Firefox with the --profilemanager switch, e.g.

+(this will delete your saved bookmarks.html).
+
+To disable anti-aliasing (xft) altogether set GDK_USE_XFT=0 in the environment.
+
+Using mailto: links
+
+To enable mailto: links in FireFox to open in your mail program, you may have
+to set a mailto protocol handler. Type "about:config" in FireFox's URL text
+field. Type "mailto" in the filter. If there is a string called
+"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", its value names the application
+for mailto URLs. If present, right click, choose Modify, and enter the
+path to your mail program, e.g., "/usr/local/bin/thunderbird" or
+"/usr/local/bin/kmail" (other programs may work, but these two have been
tested).
+If absent, right click, choose New String. Set the name to
+"network.protocol-handler.app.mailto" and the value to the path to your mailer.
+
+Plugins
+
+Firefox looks for plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins and in the directorie(s) named
+in the environment variable MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH.
+
+Using Java Applets
+
+To make Applets work, you must symlink (not copy) the file libjavaplugin_oji.so
+into one of the directories listed in MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH. This might look like so:
+
+$ cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
+$ ls -l
+total 4
+lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 63 Nov 1 12:24 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
+ /usr/local/jdk-1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
+$
