Description
Describe the bug
Title disappears on Firefox Android on page navigation.
This does not happen on Svelte docs, which is why I am documenting it.
<!-- src\routes\+layout.svelte -->
<svelte:head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</svelte:head>
Refreshing the page restores the page title:

Additional Information
According to FF debugger, the HTML head stays the same.
Firefox on Android just seems to loose track?
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<!--[-->
<!--]-->
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>

Research direction
Run the linked reproduction repository on Firefox Android and inspect the navigation behavior around src/routes/+layout.svelte and its svelte:head title. Compare client-side navigation with a refresh; done means the page title remains visible after navigation without requiring a reload.
