When a form element is disabled but has a title attribute, the title is not shown in a tooltip.

Furthermore, when the form element is in another element which has a title, the title of that element is not shown as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to the given demo URL
2. Hover the mouse over the disabled form elements
3. Hover the mouse over the enabled form elements
4. Hover the mouse over "some text"
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens when you hover over the disabled form elements

Expected Results:  
A tooltip with "blah" in it should be displayed, as it is when you hover over the enabled elements

I am not sure whether, according to the standard, a disabled form element should have a title tooltip but I guess it should. Nevertheless the title of the surrounding element should definitely be shown, and since there is no workaround I set serverity to "normal".

Disabled elements *do* show the tooltip in Firefox 41.0.2. So it seems this got fixed earlier.
