The great thing about Firefox is that we don't have to stand for this sort of nonsense - is anybody up for making an extension that reinstates the proper description?

This is the result of a new entry in en-US.jar by the sound of it. Here's a slightly older version of en-US.jar [link].
How to install:
Close Firefox.
Open your Firefox folder.
If you're not sure how, try this:
Click Start.
Click Run.
"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Firefox\chrome"
If that yields nothing try...
"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome"
If that yields nothing, let me know.
Now, see the en-US.jar? Rename it to en-US.old. Drop in the file I've provided above. Start Firefox.
If you have any difficulties, delete en-US.jar and rename old back to jar.

Yes. I've done some digging, and the relevant file is Mozilla Firefox\chrome\en-US.jar\locale\browser\pref\pref-privacy.dtd
I opened that up using 7-zip and Notepad, searched for "cookies" and altered the appropriate chunk of text.
Unfortunately, next time I upgrade Firefox (i.e. next time there's a nightly or anything new that's of interest) that change will be gone. If only I knew how to make a simple extension like this...

That's actually a very good idea. The question is though; how would I snag the Firefox directory? I suppose I could put in a configurable SET def then package the thing up with the (complete) 7z command-line package.
I could make an XPI of this, couldn't I? I could put the 7z files and the batch under a subdirectory in components then I'd just have to ..\..? I think I'll try that.

Yeah - I'm up for that. I actually tried mercilessly hacking Firesomething, but my unlearnèd "I wonder what this big, red button does" approach yielded nothing.johnleemk wrote:Let Firesomething handle this! It could become the TBE (one size fits all) for people who want utlimate control over browser wackiness.
