I think that it may be a good idea to show the bookmark description as a tooltip
in the bookmark menu and the sidebar.
This is a duplicate of bug 23460.
Tooltips for bookmarks probably won't be implemented, but that's another story, 
read by yourself in bug 23460.

My bug was about Site Navigation Bar menu items as well though.
This one is about showing the URL (and maybe other stuff) as tooltip. Bug 23460
is about showing the URL (and maybe other stuff) in the status bar.

Why was this bug resolved as duplicates?

This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23460.  However, I can find no
mention in that bug of the idea of using the bookmark description as a tooltips!

Incase there is some confusion, "description" refers to the description field
from the bookmark's properties.  It does not refer to the bookmark's title or
its URL as discussed in bug 23460.

FROM DUPED BUG 135962:
----------------------
After a short delay, hovering over a bookmark should bring up a tooltip
containing the text of the description field from the bookmark's properties.  

Since I am in the habit of documenting my bookmarks, this would help me remember
why I bookmarked some of the more obscure sites I have. (eg. "Provincial
requirements for third party nominee registered product administration") 
Likewise, I leave notes about syntax and usage in the "shortcut" bookmarks I've
created for myself and often share with others. (eg. "findbyname [last, first]
(case sensitive!)")
This would be great for me because I use bookmarks to manage my bugs, and I can
only read the first 5 words of the description in the sidebar without making the
sidebar extremely large.
Summary: [RFE] Show bookmark description as tooltip → Show bookmark description as tooltip
This is a dupe of bug 135962, not of bug 23460. And it would be nice to have.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
I.e. bug 135962 duplicate of this one.
I guess so, in principle, yes, because this one was filed earlier. But the other
one is open and anyway it's not as if this one had many comments or patches, so
let's just leave it as it is...
