When hovering over a webpage image, the URL associated with the image pops-up at the bottom of the browser. I do not want this information to pop-up every time I hover my cursor over a webpage image. How do I turn this off?

The pop-up appears at the very bottom left of the Firefox browser. Again, it displays the URL associated with clicking on the image for every image on the webpage.

The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or URL hover previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.
