773413 - When you are off the origin of an app, show the name of the app in the title first, then the off-origin URL

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Nit-pick on bug 771395 for the title of the UI - when you are off the origin of an app, I'd suggest showing the name of the app first, then the off-origin URL. We also might want to be possibly a bit more explicit at some point that "hey, you aren't in the app's context" somewhere, but that might be a separate bug (it's evident in the title, but I'm not sure it's obvious to a user).

Title suggested:

<app name> - <off-origin URL>

So, do we want this? It's a really easy fix.

I'm not sure about the reasoning behind the suggestion, but the reason we put the origin into the title bar, which was suggested by security reviewer dveditz (cc:ed), is to warn the user that they're on a different origin.

And I'm concerned that putting that app name in the title will make this warning less noticeable, especially if the app has a long name.

Thus I recommend that we don't do this, although I do like the second suggestion to be more explicit about being outside the app's context.

I've opened bug 907931 for the second suggestion.
