+This is a fork of an old version of [Einar Egilsson's Redirector
+extension](http://einaregilsson.com/redirector) for use in Pale Moon.
+
+Description of the extension from his website:
+
+The add-on lets you create redirects for specific webpages, e.g.
+always redirect http://bing.com to http://google.com. It was
+originally done by request for someone on the Mozillazine forums. The
+redirect patterns can be specified using regular expressions or simple
+wildcards and the resulting url can use substitutions based on
+captures from the original url. The add-on can for example be used to
+redirect a site to its https version, redirect news paper articles to
+their print versions, redirect pages to use specific proxy servers and
+more.
