Public bug reported:
In en_GB, "disc" is the correct word for flat round objects, but "disk" is used
when referring to a "hard disk" or "floppy disk".
"disc" should only be used in a computing context when referring to a CD, DVD
or MiniDisc.
The following strings are thus translated incorrectly (grep output):
./en-GB/global/nsWebBrowserPersist.properties:launchError=%S could not be
opened, because an unknown error occurred.\n\nTry saving to disc first and then
opening the file.
./en-GB/global/nsWebBrowserPersist.properties:diskFull=There is not enough room
on the disc to save %S.\n\nRemove unnecessary files from the disc and try
again, or try saving in a different location.
./en-GB/global/nsWebBrowserPersist.properties:readOnly=%S could not be saved,
because the disc, folder, or file is write-protected.\n\nWrite-enable the disc
and try again, or try saving in a different location.
./en-GB/global/nsHelperAppDlg.dtd:<!ENTITY saveToDisk.label "Save it to
disc">
./en-GB/pipnss/pipnss.properties:ForcedBackup3=To make a copy, click OK. If
possible, you should save your backup copy on a floppy disc that you keep in a
safe location.
./en-GB/pipnss/pipnss.properties:NSSInitProblem=Could not initialize the
browser's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in
your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no
read/write restrictions and your hard disc is not full or close to full. It is
recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to
use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when
accessing security features.

disc space for the cache.">

your computer's hard disc and
Also, I notice that one of these strings contains "initialize", this should be
"initialise" in en_GB.
