Mouseover doesn't display title attribute
I know the whole issue about the alt text fiasco. However, on my laptop, the title attribute does not display either. It works fine on other computer's firefox, but not this one. I assume it might be something in my settings, or an add-on getting in the way, but looking through about:config doesn't show anything, and deactivating all add-ons solves nothing. What more information do I need to provide to help with this?
The "URL of affected site" is the XKCD website, which uses the title attribute to display commentary for each comic (sometimes as an additional joke). I have to currently right click and view image properties, but that's more cumbersome than it should be.

No problems here with the title text: "The bug report was marked 'could not reproduce'."
Do you get tooltips if you hover over toolbar buttons?
You can check that the pref browser.chrome.toolbar_tips is set to true on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

My browser.chrome.toolbar_tips was set to false, which caused the problem. Mouseover tooltips now work. Thank you very much. I assume it's my theme that set it to false, since it's minimalistic.
You're welcome
I'm having the same issue, with the same website. I checked my config and browser.chrome.toolbar_tips was (and is) set to 'True' but still no "pop-up text". I do get text when I hover over toolbar buttons.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
