Firefox renamed the Google Saved Images as Stashed Images, is this part of the feature of using Firefox?

I'm a relatively new user to Mozilla's Firefox after having used Google Chrome for a while now, and I admit the primary reason for the switch aside from wanting a browser that doesn't slow down my OS and hog up battery power was due to the feeling my browsing wasn't all that private nor secure so I moved onto metaphorical greener pastures and started to use Firefox.

One thing I noticed though, was when searching for images it renamed the 'Saved Images' 'View Saved' to 'Stashed Images' and 'View Stashed' respectively, after restarting Firefox and clearing out my add-ons (Those being Ublock, Ghostery, Minerblock, Decentraleyes and HTTPS Everywhere with the exception of two add-ons: Google View Saved and Hoxx VPN) with the restart, it still replaced Saved Images with Stashed Images until I refreshed Google enough times that it changed the option name back to View Saved.

I know it seems trivial, but is there any actual reason why such an odd thing came up? I didn't experience that on Google Chrome when I was making the comparisons.

Disclaimer: I generally don't log into Google unless I want to read mail or use another service that requires logging in, so I haven't used the Saved Images feature myself and I don't see that button.

There is no reason that Firefox should modify the labels on buttons or links in web pages from what the site sets them to say. This doesn't seem like a change an add-on would make.

Occasionally sites are not fully compatible with Firefox, but when it's Google, we have to also consider the possibility that it's one of those unannounced UI experiments they run on small sets of users. When that affects a service like Google Images, there usually will be multiple reports of the problem here and on other sites. I guess we'll learn whether it's going around.
