In Bug 1191044 we removed the 'Firefox verified that' portion of the text about EV certificates.  There was a suggestion that 'run by' should switch to 'owned by' also.  Moving that discussion into this bug.

"operated by" might work too.
Note that if you click "More Information" it says "Owner". However, I think we should get rid of this sliding dialog altogether. It's not worth the complexity given that "More Information" exists. I filed bug 1194938 on that.

Note that the sliding dialog also contains mixed content blocking information and control to disable / enable MCB
Indeed, you're correct, I think my main argument that "run by" and "verified by" are not helping the user still stand though.

I also do still think that in the majority of cases that arrow is a distraction and clicking it doesn't result in a user benefit. So perhaps we should reconsider some aspects of it.

is this also wontfix, or is there still something to be done here? If so, can we make this a simple mentored bug to switch to the alternative labels?

Johann, do you want to pick this string change up?

Hey Tanvi, thanks for asking! I could do it, but if it's really just a string change I would rather let someone new from the community take it :)

Change 'run by' to 'owned by' in the Control Center

Hey there, thanks for contributing! This is a really tiny change that probably doesn't require tests. So we should be good to go. However, we need someone to review it.

Gijs, do you have a minute?

This is close, but we need to rev the string ID (so make it identity.connectionVerified2) both here and in the place the string is used (here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8d0aadfe7da782d415363880008b4ca027686137/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/browser.dtd#685 ) , so that localizers to other languages will also update their strings.
