275437 - Browser Title Doesn't Refresh On Closing Tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250423

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[charlie]

When I close a tab and the next one becomes active the name in the browser title
bar and on the taskbar does not change.  The title of the closed page remains in
both places until I refresh a page in one of the active tabs or browse somewhere
else.

Can you be more specific?

Comment 2

The blue bar at the top of the browser window, the browser Titlebar, has the
name of whatever site you visit followed by " - Mizilla Firefox"
So in the case of my browser now it says
  Bug 275437 - Browser Title Doesn't refresh On Closing Tab - Mozilla Firefox

If I close this tab my Clear Skies Clock tab will become active since it is open
also.  The title of that tab should say 
  New York City Clear Sky Clock - Mozilla Firefox
That is what it said when I activated that tab to check it.

But now I am back in the Bugzilla tab and my browser Titlebar and the button in
the Windows Taskbar still say
    New York City Clear Sky Clock - Mozilla Firefox
They will continue to say that until I click a button to send data to a web
site, in this case you, or until the page autorefreshes (I think).  

Once I subnit this form my browser Titlebar will change to
  Bug 275437 - Browser Title Doesn't refresh On Closing Tab - Mozilla Firefox
If I then close this tab the Clear Sky Clock will open up but the title of the
browser will remain
  Bug 275437 - Browser Title Doesn't refresh On Closing Tab - Mozilla Firefox


This isn't a big probblem within the browser as all the tabs remain properly
named when they are open.  But when I have 6 or so tabs open in the browser it
is more convenient to open anotehr browser if I need access to more web pages
since the titles are getting crunched in the tabs by the time you get six open.
 So I want to be able to look at the taskbar and know which of my browser
sessions contains the active tab I need to access.

I'm getting this too.  Check the screen shots in the attached image.  The first
is before, the second is after I closed the Yahoo tab.	Notice the window
title, it still says yahoo.

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050105
Firefox/1.0+ in XFree86/fluxbox.

Very closely rel(In reply to comment #4)

Very closely related, but not the same symptoms.  Both can be generalized to be
that sometimes the window title reflects the title of a page that is not in the
current tab.
