Along the same lines as bug 709182 and bug 716108, I think that replacing the existing tab title with "Connecting…" makes the browser feel slower and hinders my ability to know the title of the tab I clicked on. I think showing the throbber and leaving the title (at least until we get a new title) is a better experience. Use case: As a user I would prefer not to temporarily lose the tab title for a tab upon delayed loading as the load may hang and I may forget what I'm waiting for. Philipp, do you agree with this proposal? If so, can you nominate it for the backlog?

This sounds sensible. I have a slight concern that the less drastic change could be perceived as the browser being slower, but I think that is mostly superstition. Adding to the backlog.

And I'm just realizing that I probably misunderstood you: Are you only talking about the cases where you click a background tab that then needs to load something, or are you talking about all instances of the connecting throbber?

I'd have to play with it to know I guess.

OK, that definitely makes sense.
