FWIW, I can reproduce on 65 beta by just:
1. open a new tab
2. paste http://tor.eff.org in url bar, hit enter
3. wait for it to load and redirect to the https version
4. copy + paste http://torproject.net in url bar, hit enter

Thanks for reproducing. Please consider purging non-relevant details off my initial bug report before publishing.
If this will be considered a security bug, please credit me using my full name (or whichever way you usually do). Thank you for your efforts.

I just tried to reproduce it using Gijs' simplified steps on Windows 7 with a fresh (unmodified) Firefox 64 (64-bit) installation + profile, no extensions, and could not - the tab title kept updating, ending up with "torproject.org/" (when the address bar showed "https://www.torproject.org/"). So this does seem to be at least somewhat environment specific.

I was in fact *not* able to reproduce it Gijs' way using the profile and environment I initially reported on - thanks for helping simplify it, though, Gijs! For me, with these steps, even in my much customized environment, the behavior is correct, like in comment 4.
I can still reproduce this issue using the same environment *and* steps I discussed in the initial report. Will see if I can simplify it more.

I am able to reproduce on a blank profile on Ubuntu 18.10 (amd64) and Windows 7 (64-bit), both fully patched, both running 64-bit Firefox 64.0, by following these steps:
1. Create a new Firefox profile, start Firefox. Close all browser tabs but one. Access https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1515791#c6 (or any web page, accessed via http: or https: URI schemes (others untested), containing a web link as in step 3)
2. Press Ctrl-SHIFT-Delete and:
- Select the time range of EVERYTHING
- Tick all tick-boxes
- Click on [Clear Now]
3. Right-click, open in new tab: https://tor.eff.org
4. Click on the location bar and edit the URL into "https://www.torproject.net" (without quotation marks) and press enter.
5. After loading the web page completes, note how the browser tab says "tor.eff.org/" while the address bar (correctly) states "https://www.torproject.org/"
-----
Observations:
A. Accessing the first Tor website by RMB-click on the link + "open in new tab" is a requirement to make this work reliably (i.e. after cleared cache). Opening the link in a new window breaks the ability to reproduce.
B. The Tor website is rendered from this (simplified) HTML(5) source / document tree (as confirmed via curl):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
..
<title></title>
..
</head>
<body>
..
</body>
</html>
I assume the explicitly set empty TITLE attribute may be a factor in triggering this misbehavior.

Sounds like bug 1401091 essentially.
