-Building the package means first getting FF itself to build:
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-These instructions are for an _interactive_ build.
-
-* Follow the guidelines in the [Building Firefox On Windows](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/windows_build.html) documentation from mozilla.org. And I actually recommend to follow this documentation until you have a working |mach run|. I also recommend using Git, not Mercurial, as we're going to need it later in our build.sh.
-* Once you have built the entire mozilla-unified with all the mach bootstrap stuff (which will install the needed binaries in $HOME/.mozbuild), don't forget to copy the entire
-C:\Program Files\Git folder to /c/mozilla-source to get a sed.exe that understands the -z option,
-and to get sha256sum.exe.
-* I also had to download/install in my appdata, python 3, a recent version (just search it), I ended up with the following command line:
-```
-C:/Users/librewolf/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe ./bootstrap.py --vcs=git --application-choice browser --no-interactive --no-system-changes
-```
-* You can now delete the mozilla-unified folder, or keep it, if you want to play with FF itself.
-* Then clone the windows repo:
-```
-git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows.git
-```
-* cd into it, and build with:
-```
-bash build.sh
-```
-* This should produce a zip and installer exe in your top folder.
-
-build.sh
---------
-
-You can perform all the steps on one go, or perform the build steps individually, to note:
-```
-bash build.sh fetch prepare build package installer_win
-```

-Known Issues (2021-02-07)
--------------------------
-
-These issues are already reported, and sorted by priority:
-
-* about:addons search not working (use [https://addons.mozilla.org/](https://addons.mozilla.org/) directly) ([issue #16](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/16))
-* Unable to set as default browser ([issue #15](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/15))
-* Automation builds. This seems to be a possibility mentioned [here](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/windows_build.html#building-firefox-on-windows). ([issue #6](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/6))
-* Is there any way to update? (no, not soon) ([issue #12](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/12))
-* Previous session tabs, doesn't restoring after restart, although option is enabled in settings. ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* There some issue with rendering. All looks a bit blurred, or if there no smoothing enabled. ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* Choosing a bookmark inside an empty tab loads the page in the same tab, else, if the tab is not empty, it loads in a new tab. Right-clicking on the bookmark, and selecting "Open" (which is bold) from the context menu correctly opens the link in the same tab. Essentially, unless the tab is empty, left-clicking on a link behaves as if middle-mouse-clicking on a link. ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* Middle-mouse-button scrolling does not work? Is this intentional, and if yes, is there a setting to re-enable it again? ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* When I tweaked some settings according to privacytools.io and I tried coveryourtracks it gave 17 bits of data, while a vanilla hardened Firefox gave 14 bits in same Configuration. This is very concerning as librewolf is supposed to perform better than FF. ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* _Theme Aspenglow_ and the minimize/maximize/close buttons don't work correctly. ([issue #11](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/11))
-* GPO (Group Policy Objects) support. ([issue #3](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/3))
-
-Other issues
-------------
-
-The following issues are not considered windows-specific:
-
-* [issue #8](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/8): belongs in [LibreWolf / Settings](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings).
-* [issue #9](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/9): belongs in [LibreWolf / Settings](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings).
-
-The following issues are considered closed:
-
-* [issue #2](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/2)
-* [issue #4](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/4)
-
-These don't have their own issue yet:
-
-* IPV6 issues, it's not working properly?
-* problem with old sed. does not recognize -z. using the one from Git might be a work around.
-* What IP address does LW show on my sb site, and why does it show anything at all when Bing does show the ip address of my nginx? what header stuff is going on?
-* why does this anoying thing happen to my 'copy username' menu in lastpass (the local menu shows up)

-LibreWolf for Win64
+# LibreWolf Issue Tracker & Update Tools 🚀
--------------------
 
-We have a zip file and an installer available now.. We're no longer consider this alpha quality, but it surely is not aout of beta. The main issue people encounter is that non-default themes don't work correctly.
+Welcome to the **LibreWolf for Windows** repository! This repository is now dedicated to the **Issue Tracker**. Submit your issues and get the latest updates on LibreWolf for Windows. 
 
-This repository is for the windows installer, this repo is not for _librewolf.cfg_ issues, that goes [here](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings). These config file settings are system-wide for all users.
+To download the latest release, visit the [official LibreWolf release page](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases). For installation options, check out the [FAQ](https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/).
 
-**Downloads**: To get the installer, the zipped version, and the sha256sum checksums, head over to the **[releases](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/releases)** page.
+## Update Tools 🛠️
 
-Note: If your version of LibreWolf does _not_ run, an additional install of the [vc_redist.x64.exe](https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe) component might be required.
+Stay secure and up-to-date with these LibreWolf update tools:
 
-Please consult the file _KNOWN_ISSUES.md_ above, to see if your issue is already reported.
+1. **LibreWolf WinUpdater**: Kudos to @ltguillaume for this [automatic updater](https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater) that can be set up to update LibreWolf automatically or run manually.
+
+2. **LibreWolf Update Checker Extension**: Created by Defkev, this [extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/librewolf-updater/) will notify you when an update is available and guide you to the download link.
+
+> Please note: The *updater* can _install_ updates automatically, while the *extension* can only _check_ for updates.
+
+## LibreWolf for Windows 🖥️
+
+- LibreWolf supports multiple UI languages, available in settings.
+- The latest **-portable.zip** release is self-contained and can be run on removable storage.
+
+## Issue Tracker 🎫
+
+- For issues with Settings or Advanced Settings (`about:config`), submit them to the [settings repository](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues).
+- For other issues, such as crashes/theme/graphics/speed problems, submit them to [issues for windows repository](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues).
+
+## Building from Source 🏗️
+
+- Our `bsys` build system supports cross-compiling from Linux to Windows. Building the Windows version from within Windows is not tested yet.
+- The build system can be found here: [bsys6](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6).
