274008 - Remove colon ":" from the title of the Page Info dialog (or make it unselectable)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect, P5)

Sometime back, Mozilla did not allow you to select (and copy) the text contained
in the Page Info dialog (and other dialogs).  However, now that the information
is selectable, it can be useful for copying pertinent data from a page.

In the case of the title contained in the Page Info dialog, there is an added
colon to the title.  It would be useful, for the purposes mentioned above to
remove this colon, so a clean copy of the title can be obtained a little easier.

The only problem I see in this is that the colon is useful to represent
information contained bellow similar to the following:
1) info
2) info
So I'm not sure if it would be necessary to make a slight visual adjustment to
make up for removing this.

Remove colon

Negating proper visual appearance for copy/paste is a losing proposition,
sorry.

How about making the colon unselectable?  That might solve both issue at the
same time -- just might be a little more complicated to implement.

There's no way to make the colon unselectable that's easy enough to be worth the
effort.
