269684 - No URL info when mouse pointer is over image or link

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rich Kissel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

1.  I use alltheweb.com a LOT to search for images, etc.  When I get a page of 
images in IE 6.x, putting the mouse curser over an image shows the associated 
URL in the bottom line of the browser.  Same for hovering over a link.  Not so 
for Firefox 1.0.  Can this feature be implemented?
2.  There seems to be no way to "page back" through the transactions on a web 
window and move to any arbitrary point in the browsing session for that 
window.  It looks like it happens, but it doesn't.  Regardless of where I 
happen to look like I am, if I do a single backstep (using left arrow key), I 
find that the pointer is actually pointing at the end-of-browsing page.  Ouch.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  See above.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
1. You never see the URLs.
2. You are always pointed to the last page in the list.

Expected Results:  
1.  Shown the url associated with the image, video, or link.
2.  Allowed an incremental (by group) regression through all of the web pages 
linked to until one reaches the desired point in that progression - back to 
the beginning, if desired.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
