Previous alt text pops up (for example, "RESOLVED FIXED - Long tooltips should allow wrap to multiple lines")

Expected Results:  
Current tooltip pops up, or none.

Works for me. Any specific URL?
Did you also test this with a new clean profile or in safe-mode?

I just downloaded Gran Paradiso and that's when it started.

No specific URLs, but examples are certain bugs at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org and some categories or requests at http://www.wikihow.com.

This is happening to me in Beta 1. It always displays the last alt text.... not very serious, but incredibly annoying.

Fixed in a version of Firefox, not sure which exact one.
