FF4 bookmark all tabs uses url, not page title, as title

In Firefox 4 the "bookmark all tabs" command (ctrl+shift+D) does not save the page title as bookmark title which Firefox 3 did. Instead, Firefox 4 uses a part of the URL as bookmark title.

That makes it very hard to find bookmarks using search.

Is that change a bug or intended?

If intended, is there some option to revert to the Firefox 3 behaviour?

I found out that there is a bug report for this filed here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446171 The bug is caused by certain Firefox settings as described in comment 8 on that page. All we who wish to keep those settings can do is wait for a fix in some upcoming version of Firefox.
