Edit/Preferences and Help/About Mozilla Firefox should have ellipsis marks
("...") to show that they open dialog windows.

Yes, it's a nit-pick, but hopefully it won't be too difficult to change.

Ever confirmed: true
Whoops my bad, the GNOME HIG clearly states "Label the menu item with a trailing
ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further input from the user before
it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that only present a
confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require further input (such
as Properties, Preferences or About)."
