Also see: 
- History tab's: Recently closed, Synced devices, Clear history
- The Settings menu
Probably more strings are mixed up.

As a note and after further investigations:
A fresh install of the June 21st Nightly build will not trigger this issue. Only after an update from a previous version will break the headers, also in settings menu.

Guys, can you help? This is pretty serious

Based on the discussion in the Channel Meeting, this is a possible regression range: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=e1e4a481b7e88dce163b9cccc2fb72032023befa&tochange=edb7e1ddd9b61e2af2a75cfe5baa0f92a54a2716.

It looks as if on 6-21 there were 2 Android builds.

For the 6-21 release, I did clean installs with apks from Mozilla, Google Play Store, and apkmirror. This morning, Mozilla gave me the 6-22 update (which I allowed to update). After reading this bug report, I uninstalled and re-installed from 6-22 apk.
In all cases, I saw the same bug.

I'm using a Verizon Ellipsis 10 tablet, running Android 5.1, Verizon update level IR7_20C59.

I also have Firefox stable 54 and Firefox beta 55 installed, both from apkmirror arm (not arm64) apks.

This feels like fallout from bug 1372486 and/or bug 1355625, per https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/mobile-firefox-dev/2017-June/002270.html and https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/mobile-firefox-dev/2017-June/002271.html. cc:ing the assignee and reviewers for the former bug and prospectively blocking the latter bug, as Nick requested in that mobile-firefox-dev thread.

Tracking 56+ for this issue, as this is widespread thoughout the app.

Confirmed with a fresh Google Play install of 56.0a1 (2017-06-22).

We'll back out Bug 1355625 ASAP.
