…see-how-firefox-for-desktop-stacks wrong number of compared browsers

[janbrasna]

Description

At the bottom of the mobile browsers page, there is a box that tells people they can read more about firefox compared to other browsers. The text in the box says:

bedrock/l10n/en/firefox/browsers/mobile/index.ftl

Line 26 in 1d3d23f

browsers-mobile-see-how-firefox-for-desktop-stacks = See how { -brand-name-firefox } for desktop stacks up to seven other browsers.

"… stacks up to seven other browsers."

The target page lists six browsers total, i. e. five other browsers.

Steps to reproduce

1. go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browsers/mobile/
2. scroll to the bottom and observe

Expected result

browsers-mobile-see-how-firefox-for-desktop-stacks string and localizations contain the correct number of compared UAs.

Actual result

The string (in EN and localizations alike) contains "seven other browsers", while in reality the comparison page shows six browsers total, i. e. it's only five other browsers.

Ah I see it now, the number of browsers changed most recently for #14142 in #14167 so this string would also need some updating anyways.

What is the best way? Keep the current string as fallback and add a -v2 new saying "five others"? Or to make it easier to maintain try to re-use some of the recently updated strings for comparison? Or maybe separating out the number as a variable and use a number not word for futureproofing? Or maybe omitting the number entirely from the string, leaving it as "see how fx stacks up to other browsers" and be done?

I'm updating this string along with other comparison page updates in #14336.

I've gone for your third option, to just omit the number so we won't need to worry about it again.

Resolved for now via #14426
