"Open in other window" submenu lists focused tab in each window, not the window title #8

It is possible in Firefox to have the window itself titled differently than the currently focused tab. When this happens, even though the Window menu and the OS switcher show the actual window titles, the "Open in other window" submenu still lists the focused tab title instead of the actual window title.

The Window Titler extension will let you rename the windows, and it seems at first glance that it would make life with Open Link in Other Window much easier since you know which window is which without having to remember what tab was open in it, until you discover that OLOW doesn't see the customized titles (even though everywhere else that uses window titles does).

Looks like there's an attribute named "titlePreface" which is separate from the actual title, and all of those places read both.
