Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285064

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050512 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu package 1.0.2)

Ben mentioned a while back that "Sanitize" could use a better name (see link). 
A bug was never filed, but with 1.1 coming up, it seemed like now (vs never)
might be a good time...

A few other people have also commented that "Sanitize" sounds icky/vague/etc. 
There's some consensus that "Clear Tracks" could be a decent alternative.

It is arguably more understandable, and fits better with the animal metaphor. (a
relevant toolbar button could have a set of fading pawprints, for example :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the prefs window in a nightly and look around in the privacy settings.
Actual Results:  
See the term "Sanitize" and optionally grimace if so inclined.

Expected Results:  
See a more descriptive and/or less off-putting term.

The "Sanitize" feature is currently only in nightlies, and not in the 1.0.x
stable releases.
