You can only do that by disabling all the tooltips, both on the user interface and on websites by setting the pref browser.chrome.toolbar_tips to false on the about:config page.
See browser.chrome.toolbar_tips (MozillaZine KB)

Thanks for posting this answer, I also find it very annoying when trying to save a link.

There is no need to install extensions. Procedure:

1. open the preferences page with the link about:config

if the browser complains, click on the button to calm it :)

2. write: tips

3. in the list of prefs, find: browser.chrome.toolbar_tips

4. double click on it to change to false

5. tips disabled!

I have no idea what the previous post refers to - there is no preferences page in firefox!

If anyone has a solution, I'd be most grateful. This 'feature' is utterly retarded.

See How To Modify Hidden Preferences Using about:config (mozillaZine.org)

In the Location bar, type about:config, and press Enter/Return.
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.

workaround until they fix it:
drag the favicon from the *tab* not from the address bar.

Good grief. Fjor said it clearly. Banano, if you'd actually READ his response, he said to go to preferences with the link "about:config". Think - if you can - for just a moment. Type about:config in the address bar. Hit enter. Then follow exactly what Fjor posted, and it works perfectly, without having to install or uninstall anything.
