I'm not convinced this is a Firefox bug. Firefox sets WM_NAME to the the string it wants to be in the titlebar (which is correct, and also what every other application is doing). The applications aren't setting any "super name" or "application title" as you call it, but gnome-shell looks like it is matching windows to desktop files, and using the name in the desktop file to display in the panel.
However, the matching fails for Firefox for some reason. Other things like Docky correctly match Firefox windows to its desktop file, so I'm reassigning it back to gnome-shell ** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) -- Firefox incorrectly uses the window title as the application title in Gnome 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
