This is actually a regression from bug 490655 which made the dialog too narrow without considering the other use of that entity in the Settings for Clear Recent History dialog.

Adding [non-l10n-impact string change] here like bug 490655.  Axel, please advise if you don't agree.

Ehsan, when do you plan to check-in this patch?

I thought the tree rules stated that only patches can land on m-c which are meant to land on 1.9.1 as well...  Am I mistaken?

No, you are right. Sorry for that.

Ehsan, this has become confusing, but 29em is still too narrow on OS X.  In the 1.9.1 patch at bug 490655 -- which has landed -- I took the 29em number from your patch here.  But if you open up a recent nightly on OS X, the label still wraps as mentioned in this bug.  I should have verified that 29em was OK.

So this is the current state:
- trunk: 28em
- 1.9.1: 29em

And they're both too narrow. :\

I just verified that 31em is the narrowest that works on all three platforms.  (Incidentally that's only 1em smaller than what it originally was before I started with bug 490655...)

Thanks for the evaluation, Drew.  I think given that this is not likely to land on 1.9.1 at this stage, let's WONTFIX this in favor of bug 494210.
