[Note]:
- This bug was filled based on the discussion from bug 1187014 comment 16.

[Affected versions]:
- Firefox 53 Beta 7 
- latest Aurora 54.0a2 (2017-03-31)
- latest Nightly 55.0a1 (2017-03-31)

[Affected platforms]:
- Windows 7 x64
- Ubuntu 14.04 x64
- Mac OS X 10.11

[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Launch Firefox and go to about:preferences page. 
2. Go to Content tab -> "Notifications" section -> "Do not disturb me" 
Expected: "you" should be used instead of "me" (only on Windows)
3. Go to Privacy -> "History" section -> "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" selected:
          - "Remember my browsing and download history" 
          - "Keep until" I close Firefox"
          - "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked -> on Settings panel -> "When I quit Firefox" 
Expected: "your"/"You" should be used instead of "my"/"I".  

[Expected result]:
- "You"/"your" should be used in all preference strings, not "my"/"I". 

[Actual result]:
- "My" and "I" are used in "Notifications" and "History" instead of "your" and "You". Please see attachment "preferences.png".  

[Regression range]:
- not a regression, since it's a new implementation
