I get extra \"- Mozilla Firef

Answer 1

try like this

$('title').text();

Answer 2

One option from DOM directly:

$(document).find("title").text();

Tested only on chrome & IE9, but logically should work on all browsers.

Or more generic

var title = document.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].innerHTML;

Answer 3

Like this :

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
    var title = jQuery(this).attr('title');
});

works for IE, Firefox and Chrome.

Answer 4

$('title').text();

returns all the title

but if you just want the page title then use

document.title
