This looks like an encoding error at some level... the apostrophe should be U+2019, but has been truncated to 8 bits and then rendered as U+0019, which is a non-printing control character and gets rendered as a hexbox.

The character looks correct in [1], however. Offhand, I'm not sure where it's getting lost.

Could it be possible it's related to the locale of the machine building firefox?

Amending the subject, since this is happening in other locales (Italian).

At the risk of asking a dumb question: are we sure that string comes from us? I've just tried Nightly in Simplified Chinese on Ubuntu, where I can reproduce the issue for both Italian and French, and it shows up in English, not as '选择助手应用程序'

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
