The tooltip pop up when hovering over a link gets in my way if something is at the very bottom lower corner of a page...

.and I don't want to upgrade FF to what might be a beta version to get this status4eva addon!

I prefer to keep my status bar visible as I have a weather addon and like to see up to the minute info on the temperature outside and I use foxclocks to keep track of timezones where online friends live.

Now for what I'm talking about: For example, I'll go to Livejournal and some layouts have the "previous/next" link in the lower left(your left if you face the screen) corner where the tooltip pops up. Well, the pointer will spaz between becoming the pointer finger and an arrow, and the link becomes impossible to click. I can get around it by opening a new tab, but this is really annoying to have to open and close tabs constantly. I REALLY think the tooltip should just pop up across the status bar area itself if at all, because it seriously gets in my way.

Yes, I am aware it will move to the right if it's still there when a page is loading and you move the mouse pointer down there. However, this is not the case if a page isn't loading and you're trying to click that "next" link at the bottom of a page.

This is VERY annoying. Please look into it when upgrading FF further.

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time. 


body { overflow-x: scroll !important; }
