In Firefox 3.5, whenever my mouse comes to rest (hovers) anywhere within any page in the browser window, an empty tooltip (the same that displays the alt-text for images) pops up, even if there is no HTML element below the cursor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hover cursor anywhere on a web page.
Actual Results:  
An empty tooltip appears.

Expected Results:  
Nothing should appear unless the mouse is hovering over an image or element with alt-text.

Ok, fixed. Looks like the Google Toolbar for Firefox addon was causing the problem; when it's disabled it goes away.
