Under Windows, when I put the mouse over a link in bookmarks, the corresponding URL appears at the bottom left of the browser. But it does not work that way under MAC OSX.

Is this by design?

Thank you.

On Mac the menu bar is maintained by the Mac OS and not by Firefox, so Firefox can't display that text. You need to use the bookmarks sidebar to get that hover feature.

Well, I meant Firefox's bookmarks. Not MAC or Windows.
