667343 - Firefox tabs say "Connecting" when it's actually uploading a file

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Bear]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

When a file is being uploaded through Firefox, the label of the tab says "Connecting..."

It seems like it should say "Uploading..."

"Connecting..." should only be displayed when Firefox is trying to open a connection, not when one has been established.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to a website where you can upload a file.
2. Browse for a file and open it.
3. See the incorrect message as the file uploads to the website.

I think he just means that it says Connecting in the tab title when it should say Uploading

Confirming this on the latest Firefox Nightly:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110703 Firefox/7.0a1

Although this issue looks minor, would be good to have a different message / visual element on the tab when uploading a file.
This, may be considered also as an enhancement.
Attaching a screenshot, just to be more clear on the issue.
