Build ID: 1999111016 (M11) Platform: All To reproduce: - Launch the browser - Open the prefs - In the Advanced pane, tick the Warn me... box - Quit and restart the browser - Go to a multiple-cookie-dispensing site such as http://www.expedia.com - Accept a cookie Result: Another dialog appears that reads "The site www.expedia.com wants permission to set another cookie. You have a cookies from this site." Expected result: I'm not sure, but "You have a cookies" isn't right... perhaps "You already have one or more cookies..." or "You already have x cookie(s)" where x=how many cookies you have.

Good catch. I didn't see what you were objecting to at first, but then I finally caught the fact that I was using cookies (in the plural). I actually have separate messages for the one-cookie case and the more-than-one-cookie case so I can avoid the unfriendly use of "cookies(s)" but I goofed in the wording of my one-cookie case.
