Description Jiri Konecny 2023-08-09 10:31:34 UTC
The Firefox application needs to enable Anaconda to change the window title somehow. Seems that Firefox change is the only possible solution to this issue?

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2230058 +++

The window title of the new web UI window reads "Anaconda Web UI — Mozilla Firefox". (This was observed running a test image from 3 August.)

"Anaconda Web UI" is not ideal, but I assume that's relatively easy to resolve. The bigger issue is the "— Mozilla Firefox" part of the window title.

When you're installing locally, it's confusing to mix the identity of the installer with that of the browser. To the user it should just look like they are using the installer, with the browser being an implementation detail.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Jiri Konecny 2023-08-09 12:18:28 UTC
Ideally we would like to have the " — Mozilla Firefox" removed from the title. So we can then control the name.

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 08:08:10 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2023-08-16 16:42:22 UTC
In firefox-116.0.2-2.fc39 you can set MOZ_APP_TITLE env variable which overrides default titlebar headline. Run as:

MOZ_APP_TITLE="Anaconda" firefox

Thanks.
