Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 237592

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[zed]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Due to the menu width limitation in Firefox, the display of bookmarks and live bookmarks in menus is often truncated which, in the case of live bookmarks, often requires a user to load the live bookmark link in order to ascertain the content of the link. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mouseover any live bookmark or bookmark link from a menu.
2. Note the absence of any tooltip to indicate full title of link (esp. in the event of truncated title).

Actual Results:  
Where one would expect a tooltip to reveal the full title of (live) bookmarks in the event of truncation due to menu width, there is none.

Expected Results:  
Hovering over a (live) bookmark in a menu should show a tooltip with the full title of the link at the very least. In addition, the tooltip might be used to offer further information, for example the url.
