782265 - Use "restart of &brandShortName;" instead of only "restart" in blocklisting strings

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-aurora/source/toolkit/locales/en-US/chrome/mozapps/extensions/blocklist.dtd?raw=1 contains
<!ENTITY blocklist.softblocked       "For your protection, it is highly recommended that you restart with these add-ons disabled.">
<!ENTITY blocklist.hardblocked       "These add-ons have a high risk of causing stability or security problems and have been blocked, but a restart is required to disable them completely.">
<!ENTITY blocklist.softandhard       "The add-ons that have a high risk of causing stability or security problems have been blocked. The others are lower risk, but it is highly recommended that you restart with them disabled.">

At least in German, "Neustart" [restart] is ambiguous because it can mean restart of the system or of the application. Translating it as "restart of the application" would be a workaround, but "restart of &brandShortName;" sounds more like other strings.

(Currently, the German localization uses &brandShortName; in these strings, but it doesn't check if &brandShortName; is defined or undefined.)

It's safe - &brandShortName; is already used elsewhere in that file for en-US.

Bug 631908 is related, but not really a dupe.
