Show URL either in Statusbar or Tooltip on hover over sidebar bookmark

This would be very useful for the user to see where a bookmark is about to take
him. Without this, all the user has is the "title" of the BM, which could be
misleading.

BTW. This bug is a fallout from bug 64307 which was limited to implementing
titletips only, and then marked fixed based only on the titletips being fixed.

I think showing the URL in the *statusbar* is much better, since if we show it
as a tooltip, it could look pretty funny having both a tooltip and a titletip
for a bookmark (i.e., for long BMs that are trunkated).

->Enhancement. Imho, bug 23460 is essentially identical to this one.

Comment 3

No, the other bug specifically mentions mouseover of *menuitem*, this bug
specifically mentions mouseover of BM in *sidebar. I've been burned on issues
very similar to this. Please let these bugs be fixed separately. If one fixes
the other, then great; but let's not risk one getting overlooked because only
the specific requirements of only one bug got fixed. (YASSU)

Peter Lairo:
You also filed bug 64892 about this. Is there anything different here that means
it isn't a duplicate of your own bug?

[Peter Lairo]

Oops, I filed that bug 11 months ago and had forgotten about it. Unfortunately,
I haven't been able to figure out the (convoluted) query system, which seems to
require a degree in abstract illogic (just kiddin').
