The Mozilla developers have fixed Bug 395668 [1], which keeps tooltips from disappearing after 5 seconds. Hilarity ensues as the Internet realizes it will finally be able to read to the end of Randall’s title text. (Apparently some of the bug report’s commenters are fans of xkcd.)
It’s my first post here, so instead of violating the five-posts-before-linking rule, I’ll give you the URL below, newsgroup-style.

Re: Long-lasting title text goodness
And there was much rejoicing.
So, someone who knows stuff about Firefox's release cycle... when will this end up in the official release? Next point version? Or will we have to wait until 3.1, or 4.0 or something?

Re: Long-lasting title text goodness
Um, wasn't this bug already fixed in Firefox 3? Which was released almost a year ago?

No, that was another one where it wouldn't actually display all of it. That bug was only open 8 years.

Not sure how I got those two mixed up. Go my brain!
Yeah, the suddenly disappearing drives me up the wall when I use Firefox.

Does this mean there are other browsers where they do not disappear? <checking> Well not IE.
