1533031 - Update strings for HTML-based about:config

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Preferences, task, P3)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

The about:config warning message should be:

Proceed with Caution

You’re about to visit advanced configuration settings. Changing these settings can impact Firefox performance or security.

[checkbox]

Warn me when I attempt to access these settings

[blue button]

Accept the Risk and Continue

And then after accepting the warning:

Use the search bar to find the configuration you’d like to change.

⚠️ Changing these settings can impact Firefox performance or security.

^-- I think we might need a little bit of clarity from UX for where these go though.

[:Paolo Amadini]

Jawad, thanks for signing up! Did you already speak to Neil or another mentor to help you with this bug? If so, they can assign you to it directly.

You're welcome to start working on it, note however that we don't have all the SVG assets yet, and placing the string in the middle of the page below the new illustration might require some changes to the layout of the page. (We might solve this by leaving out the additional string initially, and adding it in a separate bug.)

Comment 9

[:Paolo Amadini]

Mike, I have a question about one of the strings, but the account that posted them (Betsy Mikel) is currently disabled.

PAGE TITLE: Advanced Configurations

Is this intentionally plural? It sounds strange because "configuration" (as the word says) is a specific arrangement of settings, and we're not selecting between different configurations here, we can just change individual settings (which are called "preferences" internally). In other words, by modifying settings you can change the configuration of Firefox.

Redirecting the needinfo to designakt, who can hopefully clear this up.

I checked with Michelle on this and she confirmed we should go with the plural: "Advanced Configurations"
To quote her: "I think it will help localizers to be clear we mean the plural vs a single or collective noun."

Sean, please provide an SVG of the about:config illustration. Thanks.

[:Gijs (he/him)]

bug 1534001 is updating the page title, that just leaves all the other work still to do.

Comment 15

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

(BTW: I independently had the same concern about the usage of plural "Configurations" that Paolo laid out in comment 9, and I filed bug 1548943 about reconsidering that pluralization.)

[Betsy Mikel [:betsymi]]

Please note updated copy. The title and copy has changed. Use the updated imagery provided in comment 6.

Comment 19

[Mark Striemer [:mstriemer]]

Markus, can you get a proper SVG out of this EPS file or will we need to wait for smartell to get back from PTO? I pulled an SVG out of it by just exporting it from Sketch but it lost some colours.

Let's use this and I'll check with Martell once he is back.
Tell me if you notice it looks off, I tried to maintain the appearance while exporting and haven't noticed any problems.
