1279953 - Ambiguous string usage for "not encrypted page"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[Onno Ekker [:nONoNonO UTC+1]]

In the Page Info Window in the security tab, info is shown about the techincal details of the page. According to transvision, there are three states: encrypted, mixed, none. See this URL:
https://transvision.mozfr.org/?recherche=encrypted+page&repo=aurora&sourcelocale=en-US&locale=en-US&search_type=strings

The wording for not encrypted pages is ambiguous. It says:
The page you are viewing is not encrypted.

This should be:
The page you are viewing was not encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet.

Fix wording and reference to new entity

r+ as the simplest fix, but...

The "before being transmitted over the Internet" bit of the existing string (dating back to bug 78123) honestly doesn't thrill me. Ideally we should revisit all the wording here -- 15 years later our primary UI is just talking about a "secure connection", and I think it's a little odd to be trying to explain what encryption is (pageInfo_Privacy_Encrypted2).

But this string is buried down in Page Info, and this patch at least makes things more consistent.
