The Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses address books can be
renamed via the about:config extension or by editing a profile's
prefs.js file.
I changed the names via the prefs.js file.
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.description", "Personal Address Book"); became
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.description", "Family & Friends");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.history.description", "Collected Addresses");
became
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.history.description", "PRC");
TB has to be closed when editing the prefs.js file.
