Comment(by Shondoit):

 I can confirm this behaviour.
 It consistenly shows the title of the tab active during closing in
 sessionstore.js, even if that tab is on https. No other titles are stored
 and no urls at all are stored.

 Private browsing does not store the title when closed normally.

 I tried playing with the browser.sessionstore.* settings, but this did not
 seem to effect anything.
 Torbutton did not seem to overwrite the following settings since above
 described behaviour was also observed using stock Mozilla Firefox.

 I used the following settings:
 browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes = 0
 browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo = 10
 browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo = 3
 browser.sessionstore.privacy_level = 2
 browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred = 2

 More importantly though: I can reproduce this exact behaviour in Ubuntu
 12.04 as well.
 It means you can start testing in your favourite OS and revert to Windows
 when needed.
