When I rollover a thread title (on the SDMB) in IE I get about a paragraph of text, when I do it in Firefox, I get usually less than a sentence. I looked through all the settings and can’t find a thing related to this. I’m sure there’s an about:config tool or at least something that can change this.

I believe it’s the add-on called “Long Titles” - just head to Firefox central and you should be able to find it in the extensions list.

Yes!! I’ve been wanting to get that fixed for a long time and hadn’t been able to find any plug ins for it. Thanks for the help!
