Can I edit the popup text that appears when I hover the mouse over a toolbar icon?

There are three toolbar icons whose popup text I want to change. They are:

"Close Open Tab or Window" "Close all tabs but the selected one" "Close All Tabs"

I would like to know where this text is stored so that I may be able to edit it to my preferred wording, such as:

"Close This Tab" "Close Other Tabs" "Close All Tabs" - OK, the last one is fine!

Thanks for any help you can give.

OK, I found the text.

The text is called the "tooltip" and it is in the extension called "Toolbar Buttons".

The file is called "button.dtd" and is located in Toolbar buttons.xpi / chrome / button.jar / locale / en-US.

I edited the text, replaced the .dtd file in button.jar, updated the button.jar file in the .xpi file and reinstalled.

Now my tooltips look how I want.

Hope this helps others.
