2 files summing to 90 MB of binary data (a Firefox installer) were checked
into fx-team a few hours ago.

While Mercurial (and Git) can handle binary files of this size,
transferring excessively large files adds overhead to systems and is a
barrier to contributors on slow connections. We therefore try to limit the
number of large files checked in to the tree.

Because the commit was noticed quickly and because it hadn't merged to
other trees yet, I made the rapid decision (with peer review of course) to
strip this commit from fx-team and to rebase subsequent commits.

If you pulled fx-team in the past few hours, you should run `hg --config
extensions.strip= strip -r a3924a37fa0e::` and re-pull so your repo is
consistent with the server.

Bug 1157353 tracks any remaining cleanup.
