fly over on mouse pointer does not work, a small blank box is the only thing that appears under the pointer.
When I place the pointer over content in the browser the "fly over" box comes up blank. I have tried this in other browsers and the fly over works eleminating the site as the problem. The fly over does work when place over items that are part of the browser like in the tool bars.

Google Toolbar has caused the tooltips box to appear empty in some situations:
- Try un-installing Google Toolbar, restart Firefox, see if tooltips works, then re-install Google Toolbar and check again.
If Google Toolbar is not the problem :
- You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
- You may need to use Safe Mode to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
- Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
- If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
