Tooltips are a Firefox UI thing, not Core->SVG.

Is there a DOM way to access the 'contents' of the <use> tag that doesn't involve manually parsing the references and looking up the element?

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

I don't think so, we've never implemented any of the use element's DOM methods.

Hm, I see. It seems Blink doesn't either. It's quite annoying, because without it the href could be pointing anywhere... Anyway, the code that wants fixing is here: http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/ff5673acd6a38a43bc250a2baa47df8fe6ef7859/toolkit/components/tooltiptext/TooltipTextProvider.js#110-122 .
