Why don't browsers show page title in the titlebar anymore?
MrCrispy:
I think it was Chrome that started this stupid trend - the page title is only displayed in the tab, and the window title is empty. Now they all do it - IE, Firefox 4. It makes it impossible to see what page you're on when there are more than 5-10 tabs open, without hovering over each.
I don't see any reason to do this.
jgpaiva:
In chrome, this actually makes sense since it has the tabs on the title bar, so there's no space for the page's title. I can see why you find it annoying, but personally I'd rather have a few more vertical pixels for the page than have the page title there.
On the other browsers, it simply just doesn't make sense :)

However, my FF4 shows page titles in window titles
Could it be a setting somewhere?
housetier:
browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar perhaps
Tuxman:
Fx4 is a usability disaster anyway. I'm rather happy that we have Dactyl/Vimperator and (on my main machines) add-ons that bring back my old Fx3 layout...
