The display of alt text when the cursor is moved over an image is an essential
facility for those who have poor eyesight. The lack of the facility to display
alt text when the text has been provided in the source code may be a breach of
the UK's Disability Discrimination Act. Apart from that, alt text is a useful
way of adding a caption to an image.
This is probably the one thing that stops me using Firefox as my primary browser.
Reproducible: Always

Alt text is not meant for this purpose. It's meant to be displayed if the image
cannot be shown. Read over bug 25537 for a full explanation.

That's the reason why there is a title tag.
