From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)
Gecko/20020217
BuildID: 2002021708
The term "Internet" should be used in place of "internet" in this help file.
"Internet" is the worldwide network commonly reffered to. "internet" is any
large network.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Tasks > Privacy & Security > Understanding Privacy.
Actual Results: Many paragraphs such as:
The site is told the internet address that you are currently using. This is
sometimes referred to as your IP (or Internet Protocol) address. The site needs
your IP address so that it knows where to send the page that you are requesting.
IP addresses are usually registered to internet service providers and not to
individuals; each time you dial up an internet service provider, you are
assigned one of their many IP addresses at random to use for the duration of
your session. So the site you are visiting can determine, for example, that an
AOL member just requested a page but it cannot determine which AOL member.
use the term "internet" instead of "Internet". "Internet" is the correct term.
Expected Results: Change these to the correct wording.

Publications, Microsoft Press, 1995.

Also, in first sentence, it says: "world-wide web". According to the W3C/Tim
Bernes-Lee's page it should be "World Wide Web".

This is probably a really simple fix. I will do it if somebody directs me to
where this file is stored.

Looks like it's already fixed. Also, with the recent reorganization of the
menus, it's no longer Tasks > Privacy & Security > Understanding Privacy. In
fact, I don't know if such a menu item still exists. (It still is available
through the regular help system.)

Yeah, it has definitely been improved.
There is one more problem. In Build ID: 2002042608, go to Help | Help Contents |
Search. search for "internet." The last search result is "internet keywords."
That should be "Internet keywords."

I don't have time to make a patch, but this should be really quick. (line 269)

I have corrected the Internet and World Wide Web terms in this file.
Comment 9•22 years ago

I fixed all occurrences of internet->Internet, and world-wide web->World Wide
Web.
The previous attachment was saved and edited in an HTML editor, so it messed up
the path to the CSS file, and it mangled many of the line ends (made long lines
take up two lines, so it's messy).
I also fixed the case in the DOCTYPE, which looks like a remnant from Composer
in 4.x. At some point this file should be converted to XHTML with even more
CSS... I can do it if whoever owns Help tells me to; otherwise I'll leave it up
to whomever converts the rest of the help files.
One question: should I say
<rdf:Description ID="Internet_Keywords"
instead of
<rdf:Description ID="internet_keywords"
? I don't know what the IDs are used for in the help system, but it looks like
most of the other casing is consistent (like logging_on_ICQ [btw what is this
doing here? it doesn't work])
Please review and tell me if my first patch with Patch Maker was successful.
:o)

ack I meant to say <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN"> instead of <!DOCTYPE html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">.
Caps Lock got screwed up somehow...
And for some reason I can't obselete my own attachment or the other one...

It's not completely fixed. Open Help | Help Contents | Search. Search for
"internet." One of the results is "internet keywords." That should be "Internet
Keywords." Another result is "Internet protocol address (IP address)." That
should be "Internet Protocol address (IP address).
All/all.

Of course it's not fixed. The patch hasn't been applied. First the patch has to
be reviewed, then approved, and then it can be checked in. I thought it was up
to the bug owner to do that, but so far it appears that he isn't too interested.
Unfortunately this didn't make Mozilla 1.0.
