After a recent update (not sure exactly when) Firefox no longer displays title text for any images. I have tried with other browsers on sites I know that have title text, but it does not display. I have tried the about:config in browser.chrome.toolbar_tips, and toggled it from false to true and back, but no luck. Any ideas how I can solve this?

Safe mode also disables the hardware acceleration and also the themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons. You can also manually disable/enable it via Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available.

restarting in safe mode works. this is a clean install, so the only addon installed was default feedback addon. plugins have all been disabled in normal mode and still no title text.

Turning off hardware acceleration did it. Thanks a bunch, I never would have thought to check it.
