SUMMARY The Audio plasmoid just shows "Firefox" as the name on the Applications tab, instead of the titles of the Firefox windows. If there are multiple such windows, you have to look at the horizontal meter to see which one is actually playing Audio. If the audio is paused, the meter is no use and you just have to guess. This matters when trying to change the output device for a specific window, e.g. to have one playing through speakers and one through headphones. The Playback Streams under System Settings -> Audio do show the full titles, which is much more helpful, and shows that the information is available. The plasmoid just doesn't show it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have multiple Firefox windows playing audio, e.g. two youtube videos paused in two separate windows. 2. Open the Audio applet, then the Applications tab. 3. Try to guess which "Firefox" is which. OBSERVED RESULT The application just shows "Firefox". EXPECTED RESULT The application shows the window title, like in System Settings -> Audio under Playback Streams.

But clearly there is better info available, because the KCM for audio volume shows it. The duplicate bug 409453 has screenshots showing that. Maybe the merge request is using the wrong info if it can only show "AudioStream".

This is Firefox-version dependent; in essence, Firefox once reported correct stream titles, then regressed during some of the out-of-process work, then fixed it. During the time it was regressed, the titles were removed from the plasmoid.
