Details

In moztrap when BrowserID fails, or javascript is disabled, the user is presented with this message: Communicating with server Just a moment while we talk with the server. Suggest tailoring the message to be more accurate, or at least to not lie. The failure message is dictated per-project.
A Pivotal Tracker story has been created for this Bug: http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/28329137
Carl Meyer added a comment in Pivotal Tracker: I'm pretty sure that message is not anywhere in our source code. Perhaps it's a default that we can override somehow? But rbillings mentioned on IRC that she'd filed a similar bug with another project and was told that that message is built in to browserid and can't be changed by the project, which contradicted what she'd heard from someone else. So not clear what the situation is here.
I confirmed [again] that each team cannot edit the message on the pop-up, marking as won't fix.
