I think that is a feature of the board software, not Firefox. Maybe post this question in the Forum help section?

 

[werner]

as far as I know this isnt something you can change.

strict html says the <alt> doesnt show when hovering, and firefox responds to this correctly. only text shown in <title> tags should show up. i found a few plugins to make <alt> text popout in the same way that the <title> text does, but there doesnt seem any mechanism to delay the timeout for <title> tags...even using about:config to tweak firefox doesnt show up any likely candidates, and it is probable that this is hardcoded into firefox. i get around 7 seconds btw.....

The timing is set somewhere in the registry...dunno where though.

I've noticed that it doesn't stay too long, but it's usually long enough for me to get to the gist of the thread

It can be configured and you don't have to hover every thread
It does work very well though... but yeah, I share your sentiment!
By the way, you hover tool - what do you use - I have ff3 and can't do the hover linky thing without this add-on..

I've used CoolIris and have liked it - sure it guzzles a bit, but then not soo much that its ever concerned me - I really like using it when browsing forums.

As for the original question - I don't think we can adjust the timing - this is my non-expert opinion

doubt it. see dab's comments above. and there is the same issue in linux. which of course has no registry.

 

[mancombseepgood]

Is it not perhaps under
about:config (enter that in the address bar of the browser)

 

[milomak]

it probably is. knowing what to look for is the issue i suppose.
