Some of the options in Firefox's tabbed browsing prefs aren't capitalized when they should be.

I guess those options are a continuation of the sentence above, but it looks strange to me. I'm happy to just close out this bug if people disagree.

I seem to disagree, but this is beltzner's area anyway.

This style is consistent throughtout prefs, and until we come up with a different one, it should stay. The reason it looks strange is that the groupbox title is the start of the sentence. I'd support changing the layout to remove the bevel line and space between the start of the sentence and the two possible endings of it.

Beltzner - sounds good to me. I'll try to put something together soon.

I wouldn't say "consistent" - maybe "what we would prefer." See, e.g., Advanced - Security and Advanced - Update. Privacy - Cookies was the only one I spotted that followed the lower-case continuation rule, and it's got plenty of other problems of its own.

Marking this bug as invalid, if we're going to fix this we should file a new bug about getting rid of sentence continuations in the style discussed here.
