There are 2 ways of opening the Sanitize dialog (although the 2 dialogs are a bit different), one throguh Tools > Options > Privacy > Sanitize Settings and the other through Tools > Sanitize Deer Park... The "Help" button in the first dialog only briefly mentions what this feature does, but it doesn't really explain what each checkbox does. (For example, I've been seeing questions about the recently introduced "Authenticated Sessions" checkbox) I'd say that it would be OK to show a list such as: Sanitize Items: * Browsing History - etc.. * Saved Form Information - etc... .... Also, what would you think about adding a "Help" button in the dialog that pops up using Tools > Sanitize? That dialog is far more accessible than the one in the options. (I suggest putting the Help button on the left side)

not going to block on this but we'd consider l10n impact changes all the way up to b4.

The problem here is not that help docs are incomplete as that there's one particular checkbox whose name doesn't communicate its use. Every single other item is a tab in the Privacy panel with associated help documentation, so every single item is already indirectly documented (and all should be familiar concepts to savvy users who would actually want to clear private data). I hate to feel like I'm trying to pass the ball here, but if *every* checkbox is comprehensible except one, that's not a good enough reason to minutely describe every single item in the list just so we can be sure that exactly one of them is understandable. Likewise, describing only one item and ignoring the rest is equally bad, if only because it highlights just how poor the name for this one item is. This functionality was originally added in bug 285440, which did mention naming issues (bug 285440 comment 28) and requested suggestions. Unless someone manages to convince me otherwise, I think renaming the item is the only course of action. I also happen to think we can work with a longer string here if necessary, but I don't have a final say in that. Some possible renaming ideas are "Login Session Information", "Current Session Logins", "Information on Current Session Logins", and "Logins from the Current Session", but I'm sure there's something better.

"Login Sessions" would imply that this deletes cookies for every site, but this just clears the SSL logins.

Might I suggest "inverting" the name, e.g. "Log *out* of secure sessions" (sans asterisks, used solely for focus here)?

I think that IE6 uses "Clear SSL State".
