    The thing is Firefox has classically been using the title attribute to show tooltips, while IE has used alt. Neither is completely semantically correct to use as tooltips but title is still miles better than alt, which is supposed to be a text to describe the image's content to act as a replacement for the image to browsers that do not display images, screen readers and such tools, or if the image does not load.

    I like alt text though! I've been using it to leave witty or amusing comments in my signature ever since I joined these forums.

    Firefox is lame.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Yeah. I like it this way because it's convenient.

    Firefox is simply bored and wants to mess with you minds.

    Maybe you've been hallucinating for the past few years. Welcome to the real world. How does it feel to have finally opened your eyes?

    So you're saying ranztien and face and all the people that wrote that developer's documentation I linked and all the 'how does I get alt text to show up in firefox' google results are all hallucinating?

    Explain why it doesn't happen on other sites! Just eoff!

    The... ...not-so Snowy-day. You don't see the alt text pop up on that star, do you?

    Maybe you hallucinated them siding with you. I don't know how the minds of lunatics work. But I'll believe you, I'll believe whatever you want me to. Just do me a favour, okay? Just one favour. Slowly place that scalpel in your hand on the floor, then back away, okay?
