These strings appear in general Mozilla files:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpfe/components/history/resources/locale/en-US/history.properties#8
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/components/history/locale/history.properties#8
since the history data comes from Mozilla core code.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tie into Mozilla localizations? If not,
fixing this would probably require changing the returned names of folders on the
fly in the name-accessor methods.
