I'm on Ubuntu 11/12 and tooltips stopped working after I updated to v11 or v12 of FF. I have checked on various websites and the tooltips have stopped working. I've checked about:config and it's on.

My extensions are: WOT; tor-button; flashblock; ghostery; ABP;DNTP;HTTPS Everywhere

Chosen solution

it's an add-on problem, I'll try see which one it is thanks

Edit: torbutton was the problem; TorButton 1.4.5.1 disabled solved it, thanks again!

Edit 2: FYI it also fixed by dragging tabs problem, where I couldn't move/ drag the tabs to re-arrange/ make new windows/join to other FF windows. Solved more than one problem with this =D

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
