    Browser.chrome.toolbar tips - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

    When you hover your mouse cursor over various UI elements, a tooltip will often be displayed with descriptive text.
    This preference determines whether or not Mozilla will display tooltips.
    Possible values and their effects
    True
    Show tooltips for toolbar buttons, bookmarks, web content, and other items. (Default)

    False
    Hide all tooltips.

    Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey
    The checkbox “Show Tooltips” under “Edit → Preferences → Appearance” toggles this preference between true and false.

    Mozilla Suite (all versions since 0.6)
    Mozilla Firefox (all versions)
    SeaMonkey (all versions)
    That is for the Firefox toolbar tooltips. That will not disable the hover tooltips on the page.

    I noticed a small 'disable' inside these annoying little boxes...so I clicked on it and it opened a box that let me disable it. IT IS A WINDOWS 7 thing. Good luck!

    I got the same problem. Not just on firefox, but also on windows 7, and yes you are right it is a windows 7 thing. Although, I don't see that disable thing.
