weird one - title not showing in Firefox

I've just upgraded Firefox to version 2.0.0.13 from 2.0.0.12, but neither
displays my title - I think they're just getting it from the URL (I've tried
changing the title completely and none of it's picked up). What's even
weirder is that if I open the identical page on my local hard drive, it does
display the full title.

Google get the full title which is I suppose the main thing, and IE6 and
Opera9 also get the title.

Anyone any ideas?

I was looking at your Flash header...

1: The cloud movement is totally unrealistic, and therefore looks like
crap. I am assuming you are using the time line to make the clouds
move. You need to add "EASING" to the movement./ Easing is (more or
less) nature, gravity, and how things move in the real world.

2: The name of the company comes out WAY to slowly! You need to zing
it in much faster (not necessarily sooner) and use easing it too.
Easing will completely change the way your animations look. They will
go from noticeably wrong to awesome. Also, you might want to add
some motion blure to the words coming out. Again, it will look
better.

3: Clouds are transparent. When you make the individual clouds use a
feathered edge so the edges of the clouds are transparent. It will
look much more realistic.

4: The lens flair on the apple never moves. You need to make this a
separate layer and have it move as the apple grows. Again add easing
to the apple movement.

YMMV

Sorry, I looked some more.....

The "reflections" are all wrong. The angles I mean. You might want
to hire a graphics person to make some of your graphics. It will
really improve the site.

Again, YMMV

What title do you mean? The content of the
<title> element? It appears OK in the title bar of
my FF browser.
Can you post a screenshot?

You have a <h1> element, but it is set display:none in the
stylesheet.

That's what folks like about you, Travis: friendly and helpful

"Looks like crap": probably not what he meant with "Anyone any ideas?"

Yup, that's the one. I've noticed it happens in a couple of other more
established sites too, e.g. IMDb. I guess it's a Firefox issue. Probably
one of my add-ons messing with something, but it's odd that it's so
inconsistent. It's not a biggy anyway! Thanks for looking.

You made some valid points in your first response and I agree it does need
attending to when I have more time (it was made with a fairly old version of
Flash and I'll redo the lot in CS3), but 'you might want to hire a graphics
person' is, I think, a bit below the belt.

? If you mean the html <title>, I get the whole thing in 2.0.0.12.

I'm not the best, girls. I'm not the cheapest, either. Why chose me?

I notice that the titles are the same as in the bar
with shortcuts for preferred sites of your FF browser.
Could the shorter titles be a customized feature for your browser?
