Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050210 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-6)

Create two tabs; aim one of them at your favourite site. Aim the other at your
least favourite site. As firefox goes to the new site, it replaces the window
title with the <title> tag of each page in turn -- but switching to the older
tab doesn't update the window title. (Similarly, closing a tab also doesn't
update the window title.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox.
2. Create two tabs.
3. In the first tab, visit www.apache.org; note the window title changes to
"Welcome! The apache software...."
4. In the second tab, visit www.google.com; note the window title changes to
"Google".

Actual Results:  
When switching back and forth between the two tabs, the window title remains
"Google". Now, close the google tab; the window title is still for google,
despite that tab not existing any longer.

Expected Results:  
I can see several potential reasonable actions:
(1) take the easy way out, and if there are two or more tabs in a window, simply
label the window "firefox".
(2) always label the window with the first or last tab title.
(3) always label the window with the active tab title.
Works correctly for me.  I see the title of the active tab.  Mozilla/5.0
