Bug#766404: iceweasel-l10n-fi: misleading translation "Muokkaa valitsimia" in customizableWidgets

[Philipp Kewisch]

Hi Carsten,

I do make the official Lightning packages, but if Icedove is using
something different then I don't create those packages. For any language
specific issues, I'd suggest filing a bug in the respective language
component on bugzilla.mozilla.org.

Product: Mozilla Localizations
Component: (the respective language)
