It seems that sometime recently I began having problems where there is no text when I hover over text or links. Why have the box at all if it is going to be blank? What's happening?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== recent weeks/months

Issues with tooltips not working properly have been reported to be caused by the Google Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) You can check if there is an update available that fixes that issue.

Thanks! That worked. I forgot that I also noticed my Google toolbar was missing around the same time. An uninstall and reinstall did the trick!
