[Bug 844871] [NEW] Firefox in Unity displays duplicate information

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The default title for Firefox windows contains the current selected tab
name before the application name. This duplicates the information seen
on the currently selected tab. This is particularly evident when an
application in maximized (as in the screen-shot attached). Why do I need
to see "Ubuntu Start Page" in the tab as well as directly above in the
title? I can see no added value to having this information appear twice
and it detracts from the clean and efficient look of Unity.

This behaviour *IS* useful however if the tab is hidden (de-select
Edit/Preferences/Always show the tab bar). Ideally the name of the
current page should only be displayed once. Having it in the title when
no tab is present and removing it from the title if present in a tab
would do this.

There is similar inconsistency / duplication with tabs in Nautilus.
Nautilus does not display the application name in the Title bar at all
(which would make sense) but it does display the tab name (which doesn't
make sense because it duplicates information that is already visible).

Regards,
Richard
