Description: When content is folded and one tries to delete it, one receives the pop-up "Write-protected content cannot be changed." But (especially if one is trying to delete more than just the folded content) one is likely to be in the dark about what "write-protected content" is being referred to or why it is "write protected." This can be frustrating. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on outline folding 2. Fold some content 3. Try to delete it Actual Results: Popup appears: "Read-only content," etc. Expected Results: I should see a popup more like this: "You are trying to delete folded (hidden) content. To delete this content, first unfold it so you can see what you intend to delete." Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: See also Bug 62879.
