"Profile Folder" or "Profile Directory"?

There has recently been an edit, changing the "Profile Directory" item to "Profile Folder". The change in about:support must have been very recent, since in this SeaMonkey build of three days ago:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/19.0 Firefox/19.0 SeaMonkey/2.16a1 ID:20121011064956 c-c:8a86f48e53ea m-c:2fae8bd461da

the title is still "Profile Directory". Maybe the change is platform-dependent? (Because of bug 798921, there are no linux-x86_64 SeaMonkey trunk builds being built at the moment.) — Tony 07:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I didn't check on Mac OS but it's now Profile Folder on Windows, in both Firefox 16.0 and SeaMonkey 2.13 ... but it's still "Profile Directory" on Firefox 10.0.8 ESR. I made a new edit to include "or Profile Directory". Alice 10:51, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Here's the related bug report: Bug 559501 - On about:support, "Profile Directory" should be "Profile Folder" Alice 11:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

yes, the fix introduces a new string, &aboutSupport.appBasicsProfileDirWinMac; ("Profile Folder" in en-US) on Windows & Mac but still uses &aboutSupport.appBasicsProfileDir; ("Profile Directory" in en-US) on Linux. Firefox 10.0.8 ESR is based on an older branch which gets no string changes. — Tony 12:47, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
