For some reason the bubble under the cursor became minimized so I can't see the words when I hover over a link etc. The bubble works in other programs and even in the Firefox tool bars and on the tabs.

Issues with tooltips not working properly have been reported to be caused by the Google Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

You can check if there is an update available that fixes that issue.

You can try to uninstall and reinstall the latest Google Toolbar.

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

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks for the info. I finally just upgraded to Firefox 4 and the bubble came back. Best, Danielle
