Tab Title Usefulness

[kierankelleher]

I have switched to FireFox on OS X from Safari. I regularly open 10 or so websites in tabs, especially useful for loading the 10 Java API index pages for the java dev libraries I use most frequently. The problem is that the tab title takes on the page title in FireFox. In Safari, the tab title defaulted to the Bookmark name. So all my short bookmark names made it easy to see at a glance which tab was which (J2SE, WebObjects, JExcel) etc. whereas in Firefox I see the "Overvi..." on every tab (because all auto-generated Java API index page titles begin with "Overview" and cannot see which is which. If the tab did not originate from a bookmark in Safari, then the page title is used.
Is there a way to get this useful behaviour in FireFox? If not, it might be a good feature for a future release.

This sounds interesting. I've often cursed those uninformative page titles but I haven't come up with any solutions. This is one obviously. By the way, the name's written Firefox.

Aha! Somebody with a keen mind, nimble fingers and a little bit of too much leisure time could probably easily rip that feature from that extension to form an independent extension, that'd only perform the OP requested task.

Nice of you to volunteer, John, once school starts. Please keep me posted on the progress.
