User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0
Steps to reproduce:
- I opened a basic authentication secured site
- The new tab-modal dialog seems to suppress the website title
Actual results:
The website title doesn't show up before authenticated.
Expected results:
The specified title of the authentication dialog should be shown in the title of the tab.
This is especially important when using a password manager that relies on window names. (e.g. KeePass)

I assume this is a regression introduced by the switch to using the tab-modal dialog for the HTTP auth prompt.

This issue was also mentioned by reporter Kuzma Fesenko in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613785#c93 which was reported as Bug 1671011 and is indeed some kind of regression due to the new changes implemented.
If you had a New Tab page opened before accessing the site with HTTP auth, you will see "New Tab" as the website title. Otherwise, you will observe any other site title you were previously on before accessing the site with HTTP auth. Marking this as a duplicate of Bug 1671011 and removing regressionwindows-wanted keyword.
