Since web authors not always give a good title to their pages, putting the mouse
over the back or the foward button should show the URL-to-be-visited in the
status bar. Highlighting an page in the back/forward button pulldown menu should
also show the url-to-be-visited in the status bar. 

The bookmark menu already implements the behavior I'm suggesting here. Click on
the bookmarks, and move your mouse to a bookmark in your list. Its url will
appear in the status bar.

This is nearly identical to bug 88541 for Mozilla. Firefox should have this too.
Also see bug 213163.

Yes, it's a dup. Excuse me, I didn't find the other one.

I'm 99% sure fixing this in Seamonkey would not fix this in Firefox as
Seamonkey's XPFE is totally separate from Firefox's toolkit.
