Hi

Re: your reply to comment 10 under Mozilla bug 1396010 - [webextensions] Feature request: Optionally display document's title in window's title (RESOLVED WONTFIX)

Would you like me to raise a Mozilla bug for what's required?

Draft the wording together in GitHub, maybe?

Hi, Yes, we should raise a bug to Mozilla. I admit this is not my priority for the time being. So I'm glad you offer to raise the bug. We can draft it here, indeed.

For reference, here is the suggestion we got and, I think, should follow:

file an issue so that the behavior of the window title can be globally changed by the user, e.g. from about:preferences, as a feature of the Firefox UX (instead of a WebExtensions API)

In our feature request, we should not ask specifically for this settings to be editable in about:preferences, but we can suggest it. Also, we shouldn't ask directly for this setting to be changeable by a webextension, but since this is what we want at the end, we must mention it so that the api change that could result of this bug would actually be helpful to us ^^" Finally, as motivations, we can keep the same arguments.

What do you think?

(Not forgotten … I'll get to this when things are less busy for me!)

From Mozilla bug 1419893 - Consider allowing to modify browserAction per window (VERIFIED FIXED in Firefox 62):

want each window to have its own title

Does the fix, there, help? With reference to 1419893, from Extensions in Firefox 62 | Mozilla Add-ons Blog:

Browser action items such as the title, badge text, icon, background color and popup can now be specified on a per-window basis.
