710099 - mozilla.org/sync has Mac/Linux specific wording

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The overhaul of mozilla.org/sync looks really great. Thanks everybody who worked on it. I do have a small suggestion regarding the wording:

The terms "Preferences" and "Continue" (for the wizard) are Mac/Linux specific, which means they target less than 10% of our users. Ideally, of course, we could cater platform specific wording to users individually by recognizing what platform they visit us from. But, if that's not available, I strongly suggest we don't ignore the overwhelming majority of Windows users. Please change it to "Options" and "Next".

(I realize there's a link to SUMO that explains all that, and that's great. But every extra click will build up user frustration. IMHO there's no reason not to choose the language that more than 90% of our users find in the Firefox UI right away.)

Thanks!
