Could you point to an example page?

Certainly: http://wayfarer.brinkster.net/work.asp . Try the entry near
the top that's underlined in red and reads "Active Server Pages". Red
underlining indicates a DFN (or definition) tag, I can't find a long
enough string to demonstrate the same for an ACRONYM, but you'll just
have to take my word that one truncated tooltip text for one title
attribute demonstrates that another is at least likely.
 
I had the same trouble, but it seems to be am extension problem rather
than a Firefox problem. Running profiles which have Tabbrowser
Extensions installed, I see the problem you have; running profiles
without TBE installed, 'allow popups' works fine with gmail.google.com
and with other sites.

I never suspected the extensions. I've the same extension installed and
after your suggestion it does seem to be the cause.

Thanks. I do see the truncation (ending with an ellipsis), but not at
the edge of the screen. There seems to be an absolute limit to the
tooltip length Fx will pop up. Let's see . . . .

For me, Fx truncates the title of the dfn tag well before the edge of
my screen is reached; the tooltip only goes about halfway across my
screen.
 
I must confess, I really want to like Firefox. The modularity and
breadth
of extensions (especially for a web developer like me), the reduced
vulnerability to hack attacks, the faster page rendering speed, better
integration with third-party download managers, striking a blow against
Micro$oft...all of these attract me. But I find myself getting awfully
damned irritated with it, and I'm sorely tempted to move back to one of the
tabbed IE shell browsers in self-defense (before I spontaneously combust in
frustration).

Works perfectly for me. Win98, no extensions.
