are you sure title.firstChild is an object?  Are you sure that object
has a .data property?  Have you tried the .text property?  (which
might work for IE but not Fx)

maybe something like this?

if( title.firstChild ) {
  if( title.firstChild.data ){
    var str_title = title.firstChild.data;
  }
  else if(title.firstChild.text) {
    var str_title = title.firstChild.text;
    }
  else {
    var str_title = "Unknown Title";
  }
}
