With only one tab, the window title is identical to the tab's title. With
multiple tabs in one window, the window title is the title of the currently
active tab.
When using the "window list" of your winow manager, the last fact makes it hard
to locate the window containing a spacific tab, as you only see the currently
active tab of every window.
Therefore I suggest to modify the window's title if a window contains more than
just one tab. Maybe insert a "[Tab x/y] " (x is number of selected tab, y is
total number of tabs) in front of the active tab's title. Just joining all
titles of every tab will most likely just result in some mess.
A good idea is wanted!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open three browser windows
2. Open three different tabs in each browser window
3. Use the Alt+Tab to switch windows
4. Try to locate a specific tab

Actual Results:  
Most likely you get confused, you you are selecting the wrong window

Expected Results:  
Genuine hint for locating the right window
