Bug 1007264 nailed down the initial text for the Fennec Stumbling activation button. The text is fine, but it's a little intimidating - it leads off with the what, rather than the why. Could we revisit this? I'm thinking something along the lines of:

"Help Mozilla map the world! Share approximate Wi-Fi and cellular location of your device with Mozilla to improve our geolocation service"

This is fine!

ni myself, because that is how I (mis)use Bugzilla to track todo items

Changed the message, I'll add a screenshot as to how this looks.

This shows the change (Nexus 5 screenshot). Hopefully this message isn't considered too long for this screen.

Could make this shorter by replacing the second vendor with… nothing.

 "Help &vendorShortName; map the world! Share approximate Wi-Fi and cellular location of your device to improve our geolocation service"

No strong opinion, though.

r? to Robin for a better-qualified opinion.

I think it's fine, it's clear and lets the user know what's happening. I wonder though, does that and the Health Report blurb need punctuation? As in, a period at the end?
Thanks Robin.

The punctuation I copied from the Health Report :), so I didn't add the period. I'm not sure what the right thing is here.

Share _the_ approximate … location of …, or
Share approximate … location _info_ of …?

I'd sure use a period, as this involves 2 sentences using imperative mood (tell the user to…).
Please be punctual in using periods (and not), as it may affect l10n. Imperative and infinitive mood look similar in English and may be hard to distinguish, as opposed to several other locales. Using periods or not can be just as important in English for the same reason.
