Hmm they have the code for it but I don't think the dtd file is referenced or imported at all to get the text to be shown.

I know this was filed on Places, but isn't this a Dupe of Bug 237592, "Bookmarks should always show tooltip when hovering with mouse" - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237592  ??

Bookmarks!=buttons, so no.

Also, this was filed before the current buttons were implemented; right now, the "Organize," "Views," and "Import and Backup" buttons still need tooltips.

So, these are menus, though the visual isn't quite right there.

I wouldn't class this as major either way.

Wanted, but not blocking.

Test case https://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=7483 has been added to litmus 3.0testrun for regression testing.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.

This adds tooltips to the toolbarbuttons. Please feel free to suggest other, better text.

"Import and Backup to maintain the profile" looks confusing about the "maintain" scope. I'd maybe say "Import or backup bookmarks for this profile". Btw Alex could have better ideas.

We don't currently end our tooltips with a period, so for consistency we should avoid them here while still maintaining sentence case.  New text:

<!ENTITY organize.tooltip      "Organize your bookmarks">
<!ENTITY views.tooltip                  "Change your view">
<!ENTITY maintenance.tooltip    "Import and backup your bookmarks">
