Ah, good point on that extra space and (recommended), thanks!

I'm not sure we should say "your cookies, site data and cache" are using this much space... because we're not really counting cookie size there. Jacqueline, is that fine with you?

I'm hesitant to remove the cookies part as we are kind of indicating in that sentence what the "Clear Data..." button will do, which is also clear your cookies. However I don't want to make users start thinking that cookies are taking up large portions of their memory. 

NI? Michelle, what is your opinion here?

Nihanth, sorry for the messy request upload, not sure what went wrong the first time... Please ignore the interdiff. Further description of the changes are in the commit messages. Feel free to ask questions, but I think the patches should be fairly straightforward.

I won't block r+, but I'd like to express the usual caution around adding an !important. Probably good to spend an extra ~30 seconds (probably not more than that though) to think of a way to avoid needing this.

Given that try looks good, we should probably get this in sooner rather than later. I'm tempted to just land the patches without blocking on the discussion (matching the spec and including "cookies" in the description for now). We can file a follow-up bug when jsavory and mheubusch had time to discuss this.
