Workaround: the following addon is said to fix the broken tooltips (haven't tried it): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1715
The guy who fixed that issue in the addon explained to me that this is because the "noautohide" XUL attribute defaults to off (!): https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/Attribute/noautohide As a curiosity, the bookmark toolbar tooltips have noautohide=true, which makes the bookmark toolbar tooltips the only ones that work in all of Firefox. Somebody please fix, this is extremely annoying any time you try to actually *read* a tooltip :-(. -- [firefox] tooltips disappear too fast https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239462 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
