1184918 - Title shown in Recent Tabs panel for a given URL, but not in History panel

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Martyn Haigh (:mhaigh)]

Attachment: Notice how the Recent tabs panel has a page title but the History tabs panel only displays the URL for the same page.

I'm seeing a discrepency in the data we're displaying for the history panel and the recent tabs panel.

The recent tabs panel displays a page title and a url, but in the history panel for the same page I'm seeing the url in place of the page title (with the same url underneath).  See attached screenshot.

If I am following along, you are referring to "Nick Cave's son Arthur dies in Brighton...", where the URL appears the same, but History is not showing the title.

Usually this happens because the URLs are not exactly the same and a redirect occurs. Recent Tabs and History do not use the same data sources: History uses the database and Recent Tabs uses the sessionstore. It might be possible that the title was not saved correctly to the DB, but was captured to the sessionstore.
