Bug 1214242 landed a string with CSS text-transform applied: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/commit/9651a2517069b8215ca0fc531320d6dde43c3638#diff-3b9b40474d1e7419872c7979ad7345c6R42 This is not following l10n best practices https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Localization/Localization_content_best_practices#CSS_issues See also bug 830002 for additional background. This simple string might be ok, but it might be totally wrong in some locales, we don't know. And fixing it later will mean uplifting code. It's safer to use "or=OR" now and let the localizers decide if this should be capitalized or not.
About Site -> Website https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/commit/9651a2517069b8215ca0fc531320d6dde43c3638#diff-81fe86f3f20787d354c9275a837572b9L654 I don't think this string change requires a new ID but, still, I wonder why it happened: there seem to be plenty of "Site" used in the UI (one right below those lines).
