Summary: empty tooltip in alternate stylesheet switcher → Incorrect tooltips in alternate stylesheet switcher
Also empty for me with 0.8 branch build 20040128, Windows XP.
It's really strange, I got "Go forward one page" tooltip in the back button but
hard to reproduce.

I'm quite sure there are problems of tooltips.

ok, I get it eventually.
The tooltips in the popup menu of alternate stylesheet switcher and back/forward
button would remember the last tooltip that had shown.
For example, if you got the "Reload current page" tooltip from the reload
button, and then you move you mouse over those popup menus and you would get
"Reload current page" again.

As a side note, no tooltips are shown on the popup menu while right clicking the
marker dropper of back/forward button.

if there are no last tooltips or the last tooltip is from the webpage, the popup
menu tooltips would be empty.
This might turn out to be a dupe of/related to bug 133788.
Yes. It's related to bug 133788.
I can reproduce this bug 232428 in SeaMonkey.

Happens in linux fb 0.8 as well.

The summary is too specific - this happens throughout the UI. We could
resummarise usefully as "Popup menu tooltips show last-displayed tooltip instead
of parent button's tooltip". I don't think this is the same thing as bug 133788.

Some tips to reproduce the bug:
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hover over a main toolbar button, like back. The tip "Go back one page" is
displayed.
2. Move to another widget (even the forward button, but also the popup blocker,
read mail/news or alternate stylesheet (when it re-exists) buttons), and before
they pop up their own tooltips, click to pull down their popup menu and hover
over one of these new items. The last tooltip you saw, "Go back one page", for
instance, is shown again, seemingly cached somewhere.
   If instead you had waited on the parent button (the forward button itself,
for instance), and let it display its own tooltip, that is the one that would
persist, and so on.

Interestingly, the UI buttons will NOT take on the tooltip of a bookmark menu item.

This bug exists in Seamonkey as well. You can see it in the print preview popup
or in the back/forward popups.

The "Product" field should be updated and recategorised as Browser > XP
Toolkit/Widgets.
Component: Menus → XP Toolkit/Widgets
Product: Firefox → Browser
