Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 408788

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Reported on Launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264745

When going to "Tools -> Page Info" under the Tab Security, Firefox shows me (for example on the google web page):

Have I visited this web site before today? Yes, 9910 times

These numbers are always very high... Maybe this is how many times this web site was visited before *ever*, but sure enough not *today*.

Reproducible: Always

It's the number BEFORE today, that is yesterday and all the days before. Not today.

The current phrase might be grammatically correct, but it sounds a bit weird, especially for people that don't speak English as their first language (we seem to ignore the word 'before'). I think it should be rephrased as "Have I visited this web site in the past, (not counting today)". Or just count all the visits together, today included.
