I do not believe this is a dupe of Bug 294902 or 250423, since this
functionality works properly in Firefox 1.0 but does NOT work in Deer Park Alpha
1 (20050523).

Apparently you cannot change the title of a tab via script when multiple tabs
are opened.

The simplest file that will show this bug is:

<html><body onload="document.title='Hello, world!';"/></html>

Steps to reproduce: 1) open a new browser window, 2) open a new tab (so that
there are at least two tabs opened, 3) browse to the above HTML doc.  The title
of the tab will not be "Hello, world!".  Note that the title of the tab WILL be
"Hello, world!" if you browse to this document without any tabs open.

To see the problem a little more clearly, try this file:

<html><head><script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gNum = 0;
function changeTitle() { document.title="Number is " + (++gNum); }
function start() { window.setInterval(changeTitle, 1000); }
//--></script></head><body onload="start();"/></html>

Steps to reproduce:  1) Browse to the above file, observe the title changes
every second, 2) Open a new tab.  The title of the tab will be frozen at the
most recent change but will not update periodically after the tabs are open.

Reproducible: Always

Reporter, are you sure you see this with a new profile (or more specifically,
without any tab-related extensions installed)?

Confirming, new profile, no extensions.

Doesn't even work for me with one tab open.
No tab-related extensions installed.  I didn't create a new profile, I only
noticed that it works in Fx 1.0 and not in Fx 1.1+ (Deer Park Alpha).  

I didn't you could create attachments like that for the test cases.  Cool.  I'll
do that for any new bugs I report.
Steve (#3), does your "WFM" mean "Worked For Me"?  I'm unclear on the
terminology here.  Anyway, I had 20050523 and I've updated to the nightly build
20050602 and it still doesn't work.  Test Case 2 is probably an easier one to
demonstrate.  Right-click it and open in New Window.  After you verify the title
is updating every second, open a new tab.

This does work in 1.0 though.

This is probably the same cause as bug 295210, so will likely be fixed by that.
