>Description:
	It is not possible to use several useful (and probably critical in
	some places) extensions that are now the default in the Mozilla
	browsers due to the Firefox port disabling all the extensions and
	then only reenabling a select few.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to use the Mozilla SPNEGO support (negotiateauth extension)
	to authenticate oneself in Firefox; it can be used in Mozilla because
	that port does not disable it.  The current entirely-manual
	synchronization of mozconfig.in and configure.in is unnecessarily
	convoluted.
>Fix:
	If there are extensions that _must_ be disabled, those particulars
	should be disabled by changing files/mozconfig.in so that the
	--enable-extensions="foo,bar,baz" becomes
	--enable-extensions="default,-qux,-toobig,-etc".
