Title:
  Firefox in Unity displays duplicate information

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
