Anyway to disable mouse-over text boxes in Firefox?
I'm not sure if this is a Windows or a Firefox thing, but I would like to disable these mouse-over text boxes that appear in Firefox. I have looked all over and can't figure out how to turn them off. Any help would be appreciated.

The best you can do is press shift or ctrl as you hover over them. That will kill the pop up box. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 15 L502x

Thanks Kegobeer, that's a cool little trick that seems to do the job. I still wish there was a way to just turn it off completely. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP dv3510nr

You have to disable javascript, I'm afraid. I can't stand those stupid pop-ups, and I wish there was something else I could do. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 15 L502x
