I agree this is a bug, but I don't really see it as a localization/language bug. These terms are well defined and can't be changed any more than the english language terms.

This should in my opinion be handled on the interface rendering side by either truncating the button texts if display device is not big enough to show the whole text, or less optimally by moving the buttons that don't fit onto another row.

I've changed the bug description to reflect this.

Axel: could you please give us your opinion and hopefully someone to direct to the bug.

Yeah, let's move this over to fennec to get some UX.

We quite generally have the problem that three buttons next to each other don't fit, if I take a summary of other bugs like this.
