The file needs to be unzipped before you can look at it.  From a
terminal

$ gzip -cd /usr/share/doc/galeon-common/README.ExtraPrefs.gz | less

will unzip it and show you it in a pager, or

$ gzip -cd /usr/share/doc/galeon-common/README.ExtraPrefs.gz > ~/README.ExtraPrefs

will unzip it to a text file in your home directory which you should be
able to load using whatever you were trying before.
