1788707 - re-add parentheses around "Private Browsing" in window title

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, enhancement, P3)

Description

[dev.lh]

Attachment: firefox-104-private-browsing-windowbar.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:104.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/104.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open private browsing.
(Open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=bugForm%7CFirefox to get the exact same text as the screenshot)

(OS: Kubuntu 22.04)

Actual results:

See attached file, the resulting window title is
Enter A Bug - Mozilla Firefox Private Browsing.

Expected results:

The window title should have been
Enter A Bug - Mozilla Firefox (Private Browsing)
as in previous versions.
There is a specific advantage by having the parentheses:
You can quickly tell if your selected firefox window has private browsing activated, or if it's a normal window, simply by skimming the text for the parentheses.
This is beneficial for example when switching between windows rapidly using <kbd>Tab + Enter</kbd>.
Even more so if you are currently videostreaming to others,
i.e. when you have both a personal window, and a work-related one, and others can see your whole screen.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The string seems to be still here:

Not sure why it's missing.

I see the same on Gnome/Wayland.

Those are testing strings used by third-party.

This was changed in bug 1758961 on purpose, so I'd suppose that makes this a wontfix.
