Details
(I have difficulty imagining this isn't already filed, but I can't seem to find it.) I have http://docs.python.org/library/index.html in my awesomebar history. When I type that URL, Firefox displays "The Python Standard Library -- Python v2.6.5 documentation" as the title. But the page's actual title reflects the current version of Python: "The Python Standard Library -- Python v2.7.1 documentation" When I visit a page and its title is different from what Places has stored, Places should update its stored title.

Did you bookmark this url?

Aha, yes. Didn't notice that.

(In reply to comment #2) > Aha, yes. Didn't notice that. Then this is likely the intended behavior. We'll always show the bookmark title over the page title because the bookmark title is user-set.

The bookmark title is user-settable, but in this case, it was not user-set. I imagine that's the common case. Perhaps Places should be aware of whether the title was *actually* set by the user.

I think we should change all of our titles management in a next schema, since it's insane. Btw, it's hard to figure out if the user changed the title or not, since the API calls are the same, the backend API just knows someone asked to add a bookmark with a certain title, we could guess that if the bookmark and history titles are the same user didn't change it, at last.

Use case: I bookmark a bug. Then the bug's summary changes. All my email for this bug has the new summary in the subject, but the awesomebar always retains the old summary. This happens to me all the time.

As I said in bug 723972, this bug is much more visible with the new-tab page.

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 3 duplicates.
:mak, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

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.
