Using an extension
It is possible to change the wording using an extension such as Firesomething or Titlebar tweaks (both by momokatte).
Manual procedure
- Go to your Firefox program folder. Then, go to a folder that's called "chrome". Copy that folder somewhere else for a backup.
- Within the chrome folder, there is a JAR file called en-US. If that's the language you are using, extract it. You need to find some software that can extract JARs and repackage them. Examples are WinRAR, 7-Zip, Winzip, etc. Alternatively, under WinXP, you can rename it to a .zip, use the built-in un-zipper, make your changes, and change it back to a .jar when you're done.
- Within the en-US that you extracted, go to locale > en-US > global. Within the global folder, open up the file "brand.dtd".
Then, you should see something like this:
<!ENTITY lang.version "1.6"> <!ENTITY brandShortName "Firefox"> <!ENTITY brandFullName "Mozilla Firefox"> <!ENTITY version "0.8"> <!ENTITY vendorShortName "Mozilla Firefox"> <!ENTITY releaseURL "http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html">
You may edit that to something like this:
<!ENTITY lang.version "1.6"> <!ENTITY brandShortName "My Browser"> <!ENTITY brandFullName "My Browser"> <!ENTITY version "1.0"> <!ENTITY vendorShortName "My Browser"> <!ENTITY releaseURL "http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html">
That's if you en-US, of course.
Then, repackage everything back exactly how it was and open up Firefox. If Firefox has issues, just restore the back up copy and try again.
