667519 - Inconsistent language in malware protection

Status: REOPENED

(Toolkit :: Safe Browsing, defect, P5)

Description

[Maxim Weinstein]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build ID: 20110615151330

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a badware page (or the sample: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/its-an-attack.html) to receive the interstitial warning. Then click "ignore this warning" to view the page and the information bar.


Actual results:

The interstitial warning uses the language "Reported attack page," while the information bar uses "Reported attack site."


Expected results:

Language should be consistent. Neither is strictly accurate, but I believe the interstitial warning was changed from "site" to "page" to avoid implying that an entire site was blacklisted in cases where only a single page or directory was listed by Google's API.

Still the case today. This should be pretty easy to fix, but there are potentially a lot of similar strings to look at.
