203031 - TM should not be used in title bar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Simon Willison]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030422 Firebird™ Browser/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030422 Firebird™ Browser/0.6

On Win98 (haven't tried on other versions) the latest nightly has "Firebird[]
Browser" in the application title bar, where the [] is one of those ugly squares
that crop up in Windows when a character can't be rendered. I'm guessing that
this is meant to be a ™.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the April 22nd nightly build of Firebird/Phoenix on a Win98 PC
2. Run it.
3. Look at the title bar.

Actual Results:  
TM sign comes up as a square.

Expected Results:  
TM sign should come up as a TM sign.

Changing summary.
-> NEW

TM is a character of machine (font) dependence.
It should not be used in title bar.

MacOS or WindowsMe also fails to paint.

using (tm) would just be plain ugly... either it's ™ or nothing, IMO?

In Linux the 'TM' is displaying as a '?'. I get a similar problem with the
about: window as well in the UA string.

OS --> All

Another option could be "Mozilla Firebird" as the title

1) There is only ONE Firebird Browser, there is really no need to have the
"Browser" part there
2) The places where "phoenix" has been replaced with "firebird" would still work
3) Would fix this bug

We could still maintain the (tm) in the about dialog?
