User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131127030201 Steps to reproduce: Put mouse pointer over link. Actual results: Nothing. Expected results: Tooltip with link URL.
This issue has both usability and security implications, as without such feedback there is no way to predict the link target and decide whether it should be followed.
Severity: normal → enhancement
I agree losing the tooltip has security implications for the user, but I don't think this is something that needs to be hidden. dveditz, I'm not sure of the appropriate security keyword to use here, but sec-want seems appropriate.
