1461163 - URL Tooltip extremely annoying Add option to turn it off!

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 645313

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[amos belvisi]

Attachment: URL tooltip.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180503143129

Steps to reproduce:

I'd like to HIDE the URL tooltip which shows up in the lower left corner when hovering or
clicking links. It is extremely annoying and visually distracing:
It appears, disappears, changes size, ...

It is impossible to do concentrated work in firefox for longer periods
because this nasty little beast is flashing and flickering at me all the time,
catching my attention!
(especially on web pages with dark background!)


Actual results:

when hovering or
clicking links in the lower left corner  a URLtooltip bar appears


Expected results:

Could you eliminate this unpleasant option or allow us to create code to be included in the profile userChrome.css file to eliminate this option?

You can install URL Tooltip 0.9.3 [1] which displays the target in a tooltip next to the respective link, and hides the original status popup in the corner of the window. Its tooltip delay is configurable, so you could set it to something very high so that it essentially never shows.

Or you can use userChrome.css [2] to hide the connection messages, making the tooltip less irritating.

#statuspanel:not([type="overLink"]) {
  opacity: 0 !important;
}

Lastly, I don't recommend this, but if you insist, you can use userChrome.css to hide the status popup altogether.

#statuspanel {
  opacity: 0 !important;
}

Hi.
Hello.:

In a PC with FIREFOX 61 BETA 4 I solved my problem.
Thanks.
