[TYPO3-RTE] problems understanding configuration of htmlarea rte

Sorry, it's the other way around. In this mode, Firefox wants b and i.

The behaviour of the buttons is changed. See the manual for detailed 
description of this behaviour.

You can choose to use strong or b buttons or both. Same for i and em.
