When moving around a page to get to a link any delay even a fraction of a second results in an activation of whatever happens to be under the pointer. I can find no option to adjust the hover timer.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Preference_reference/ui.tooltipDelay

or set browser.overlink-delay to a larger number
