Summary: Title of new tab not updated after redirection from Google Search → Title of new tab not updated after redirect when target page has no <title>
The title says kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt for me in 58 with the STR in comment 0. Andrei, can your team still reproduce or does this look fixed to you too? In any case, not a new regression, and I don't think we would uplift anything to 57 here.

Hi Liz! I can still reproduce the issue mentioned in comment 0 using Firefox 58.0a1 (BuildId:20171009220104) on Windows 10 64bit, macOS 10.11.6 and Ubuntu 16.04 64bit.

Curiously, the incorrect tab title survives Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Shift+R, and even clicking the URL bar and hitting Enter. Conversely, there's no problem when you open the link in a new window. Still affects Firefox 61.

Curiously, the incorrect tab title survives Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Shift+R, and even
clicking the URL bar and hitting Enter.

Tab title with intermediate redirection URL survives even after navigation to other pages on the same site.

Flags: needinfo?(dao+bmo)

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
