Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open full screen browsing mode 2. Visit some page with links 3. Hover mouse over a link Actual Results: No idea where the link is going to lead to Expected Results: Display link destination as tooltip Further in full screen browsing mode when mouse is moved towards the top firefox should display the title bar also - currently it is not displaying title bar.

Bug 541656 made it so there is only a tooltip now, no statusbar even in the normal mode. There is, however, an extension "Status-4-Evar" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/) to put the URL back into the now "add-on bar", and it currently has this problem: https://github.com/SparkyBluefang/S4E/issues/9
