is there an equivalent to iOS 6 meta tag apple-mobile-web-app-title for android web-applications? Something that gives you the possibility to define a long title and a short title.

<title>Long name</title>
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-title" content="Short name">

This is possible using the "application-name" meta tag. However it only appears to work with chrome. Firefox and the android browser don't use the title tag

<head> ...  <meta name="application-name" content="Awesome App!"> ...  </head>
