STR:

  1. Open 2 tabs, preferably one with a long tooltip title and the second with a short one
  2. Hover one of the tabs, see its tooltip
  3. Quickly move your mouse over to the second tab and see its tooltip

AR:
The second tab tooltip initially appears with the contents of the first tab's tooltip, and then quickly changes to the correct tooltip

ER:
No flickering, the second tab tooltip should be the correct one

The unnecessary tabbrowser-tab-tooltip is dropped, as it's the same single variable references in all locales. Also, setting the title as the label directly avoids a minuscule but observable delay that's the source of this issue.
