It would be nice if Firefox synced the bookmark title to the title of the bookmarked page. However, if the user set the bookmark title manually the title shouldn't be synced. 

Maybe the bookmark properties dialog should include a checkbox "Synchronize title with page title" or alike. Bug 119710 discusses the problems with synchronizing title if user set title manually.

Reproducible: Always

i doubt that will cause users think their bookmark has been lost because they go looking for a certain title, moreover now locationbar and searches act on titles too. Could be implemented by an extension, but i vote for WONTFIX.

I think this would make searching for the bookmark via the awesomebar more difficult, since the title becomes a moving target -> WONTFIX.
