I'm using an simple extension which adds a sidebar and loads a webpage in the sidebar. The webpage has several links which have a title attribute, but none of the titles are displayed in the sidebar, when you hover over the link. The link titles are displayed fine if the webpage is viewed in the main window.

Eg: <a href="http://...." title="This is your help text">[some text]</a>

In the above example, the title text "This is your help text" is not displayed when you hover over the link.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any webpage with link titles in the sidebar
2. Hover over any of the links with a title
3. See if the title is displayed
Actual Results:  
The link titles are not displayed, if the webpage is viewed in the sidebar.

Expected Results:  
The link titles should be displayed, regardless of whether the webpage is viewed in the sidebar or the browser main window.
