I completely agree to remove 'Mozilla' from the translation as there
was never a direct relation between Mozilla and a web browser (and
because now we have a much better one :D ). But I don't think we need to
change the translation 'Web-Browser'. Yes, it isn't a German word but
there is also no German word which could describe it in a sane way. So,
I'd suggest to remove Mozilla and keep 'Web-Browser'.

I don't think so, 'Konsole' would be even worse as it reminds more to
KDE's konsole. I'd say 'Terminal' is fine as it is the name of the
general application type 'terminal emulation' and it fits the name of
Xfce's default terminal emultion application 'Terminal'.
So, I'd say changing it would cause even more confusion.

Attached is a patch which fixes the 'Mozilla' problem as mentioned
above and also translates the missing fuzzy and untranslated strings.
The patch also fixes some missing menu accelerators.
