"Erase and Open" string truncates in en-US and localizations
This is the string used for DeleteHistory_NotificationBar: "Erase and Open" truncates a lot. As you can see, only "Erase" appears - truncating entirely "and open"

We discussed this in #870. This seems to only happen on small devices with older versions of Android (Unfortunately that's exactly what @npark-mozilla uses for the screenshots). Newer versions do not show the icon and have a layout that allows longer text. Back in #870 we decided to live with this issue on older devices. But I'll flag this for our next triage meeting to re-discuss.
This is how the notification looks like on a modern device:
Confirm what Android version this started to happen, then let's get some telemetry to find out how many users are effected.

This is how the notification is displayed on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 (Android 5.1.1):
And this is on a Xiaomi mi4i (Android 5.0.2):
The "Erase and Open" string is still truncated on the latest Focus Nightly build 102.0a1 from 5/11 on Xiaomi mi4i (Android 5.0.2). The white button is described in #6627.
Android does not allow such long text in the notification and so the text is automatically clipped. The only feaseable solution is to use a smaller text that would fit in the space Android allows. @jeffreygee Can you help with another smaller text? Should we accept the issue since it reproduces only on Android 5.0 ?
