What did you do?
================
1. Open firefox
2. Log in into my FirefoxSync account

What happened?
==============
A message apeared in the botton right of the screen it says:

Sync activado
&brandShortName; comenzará a sincronizar en unos instantes

What should have happened?
==========================
I guess give a name to that variable

Is there anything else we should know?

Entity reference cannot be used in *.properties file.

Hi,

Fixed in Aurora and backported to Central:

On the other side, shouldn't brand names be used through variables, regardless the file format?

Yeah, maybe we should file a bug to change the string format.

Since the es-ES issue is fixed and the en-US strings were changed to avoid using the literal "Firefox", this bug can be closed.
