Thanks man, this is the code I'm using to set it on all windows. But I'm running into problems. If I uncomment the Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow(null).alert(aDOMWindow.document.documentElement.getAttribute('title')); then it doesn't work. It's so weird.

Here's the code:

Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/ctypes.jsm');

var user32 = ctypes.open('user32.dll');

var FindWindow = user32.declare('FindWindowW', ctypes.winapi_abi, ctypes.int32_t,
    ctypes.jschar.ptr,
    ctypes.jschar.ptr
);

var SendMessage = user32.declare('SendMessageW', ctypes.winapi_abi, ctypes.uintptr_t,
    ctypes.int32_t,
    ctypes.unsigned_int,
    ctypes.int32_t,
    ctypes.voidptr_t
);

var LoadImage = user32.declare('LoadImageA', ctypes.winapi_abi, ctypes.voidptr_t,
    ctypes.int,
    ctypes.char.ptr,
    ctypes.unsigned_int,
    ctypes.int,
    ctypes.int,
    ctypes.unsigned_int
);

var IMAGE_BITMAP = 0;
var IMAGE_ICON = 1;
var LR_LOADFROMFILE = 16;


// RUNNING STUFF BELOW - ABVOE WAS JUST DEFINING STUFF
var DOMWindows = Services.wm.getEnumerator(null);
while (DOMWindows.hasMoreElements()) {
    var aDOMWindow = DOMWindows.getNext();
    var targetWindow_title = aDOMWindow.document.documentElement.getAttribute('title');
    var targetWindow_titleOriginal = targetWindow_title;
    targetWindow_title += ' - Profilist Iconing Proc';
    aDOMWindow.document.documentElement.setAttribute('title', targetWindow_title);

    Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow(null).alert(aDOMWindow.document.documentElement.getAttribute('title'));

    var targetWindow_handle = FindWindow(null, targetWindow_title);

    var hIconBig = LoadImage(targetWindow_handle, 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\SONY VAIO\\My Documents\\Downloads\\puzzle.ico', IMAGE_ICON, 256, 256, LR_LOADFROMFILE); //MUST BE A FILEPATH TO A ICO!!!
    var hIconSmall = LoadImage(targetWindow_handle, 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\SONY VAIO\\My Documents\\Downloads\\puzzle.ico', IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_LOADFROMFILE); //MUST BE A FILEPATH TO A ICO!!!

    var successSmall = SendMessage(targetWindow_handle, 0x0080 /** WM_SETICON **/ , 0 /** ICON_SMALL **/ , hIconSmall); //if it was success it will return 0? im not sure. on first time running it, and it was succesful it returns 0 for some reason
    var successBig = SendMessage(targetWindow_handle, 0x0080 /** WM_SETICON **/ , 1 /** ICON_BIG **/ , hIconBig); //if it was success it will return 0? im not sure. on first time running it, and it was succesful it returns 0 for some reason   

    aDOMWindow.document.documentElement.setAttribute('title', targetWindow_titleOriginal);
}

user32.close();

Oh I think I know the problem with what I just posted. After I do setAttribute on the window title it takes a little while before it registers with windows?

Committed Rev2

Hey man it was definitely the problem where when I set the title of the window, then ran FindWindow right after that, it was not finding the window because it takes a little bit after the setting of title for it to register on OS. I updated in Rev2 to use nativeHandle so that's fixed now. :)
