Steps to reproduce:

(originally reported at https://support.mozilla.org/en-
US/questions/1254659 but it's not an Ubuntu-specific issue as replies in
that thread seem to imply)

1. Select any folder under any account in the left pane (e.g. a folder named 
"Foo Bar")
2. Open the file menu and click "Empty Trash"
3. Observe that a confirmation dialog is displayed ("Delete all messages and 
subfolders in the Trash folder?")


Actual results:

The title of the dialog reads 'Empty "Foo Bar"'.


Expected results:

The title of the dialog should be 'Empty Trash'.

Title:
  In Ubuntu's Thunderbird, Empty Deleted warns, Empty "Inbox"!

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
  New
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Issue: In Ubuntu desktop 18.10 and 19.04 (and perhaps years earlier?),
  when a Thunderbird user clicks on File>Empty Deleted, it warns that
  Empty "Inbox" will be done, instead! Ouch! (It does empty the correct
  folder anyway, but this should and does scare many users.)

  After a protracted dialog with the Mozilla Thunderbird support team,
  I've learned that Mozilla's own vanilla Thunderbird shows Empty
  "Trash", as it should. They say that the version of Thunderbird that
  comes bundled with Ubuntu is to blame - so please fix it.

  Note 1: Specifically, this wrong routine threatens to empty the active
  folder; commonly, that folder is "Inbox".

  Note 2: There's no prompt at all, if the "Trash" dialog box is
  suppressed. But default is (and should be) to have it enabled.

  Note 3: You can view the details of my Mozilla trouble-shooting (including 
my/Ubuntu's erroneous Thunderbird screen-print and Mozilla's correct one), here:
