Browser tab title for the site goes away.

Question

I have modified my master page to show the Title for the Site Home page in the Intranet Portal. The tag in the master page reads this:
<title id="Title1" runat="server"><asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">ABC</asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </title>
When I browse the site in IE, the title "ABC" shows up in the browser tab but goes away after some time. In chrome, it gets replaced by the URL of the Site page:
http://site/pages/default.aspx. It only happens when i'm on the Site Home page. When i'm on a different page or within sub-site, it retains the Name of that page. How can I resolve this so that Title stays as long
as I'm on the site home page.

Hi K-Joshi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the browser title for a site in SharePoint 2010.
Please change the Title tag in your master page as the followings:
<title id="Title1" runat="server">
<SharePoint:EncodedLiteral runat="server" text="ABC " EncodeMethod='HtmlEncode' />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server"/>
</title>

I hope this helps.
