Firefox displays wrong title in the titlebar

[Arek Olek]

Binary package hint: firefox

Debug information is supposed to be added automatically, so I'll just describe the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch randomly between tabs, open new ones, close them, navigate to other pages (by links or bookmarks) etc.
2. Notice how sometimes regardless of displaying the new tab, the titlebar still shows the title from previous tab.

Expected behaviour is obvious – it should always display the title of the current page or application name in case of a blank tab.

Well, apparently this is not a bug in firefox, because I can see similar behaviour in Nautilus and in Google Chrome. So this is probably Metacity or Compiz bug?

Should I update this bug or file a new one perhaps?

Since this is not a Firefox specific issue I am removing it as the package and adding the needs-reassignment tag.

Why did you reassign this back to firefox when it had already been determined to not be the problem?

sorry, missed that, I found it in the list of "unassigned" bugs and tried to triage it...

this bug is similar to bug 666501
