Intl.ellipsis

Background
Several XUL widgets use an ellipsis (…) to indicate overflow (e.g., <label> and <tree>).
Ideally, Mozilla would use the Unicode ellipsis character for these elements. However, depending on the font used by the current locale for the UI, the ellipsis character may look wrong or inconsistent compared to those used by the rest of the OS. In particular, this is a problem for the Japanese version of Windows.
This preference allows the character used for ellipses to be localized.
Possible values and their effects
A string that should represent an ellipsis in the Mozilla UI. Default value is localized, but usually “…”.
Caveats
- This preference will not change every instance of an ellipsis in the UI. Most ellipses are included in localized string bundles, and would need to be changed there.
