Comment:

 Same problem with TorButton v1.4.5.1 with Firefox v12.0 (on WinXP SP3).

 Problem occurs with Add-on enabled and Tor Mode Off.

 Problem tracked down to TorButton only (not related to any other Add-on)
 as the Mouseover functionality on Images can be toggled on and off by
 disabling or enabling TorButton with ALL other Add-ons manually
 disabled...

 The same goes for the Drag&Drop problem for Tabs.

 Mitigating point (for Web Developers):
 Mouseover Text Functionality coded with Javascript
 'onMouseOver/onMouseOut' Commando is not broken, only the one with the
 'Title' HTML Tag.

 Changing Priority from Minor to Major as many Web-Sites (and Users) rely
 on Mouseover Text Functionality/Info before clicking on an (Image)-Link.

 (The 'Version' Field of the Bug Properties stops at v1.4.4.1, v1.4.5.1 is
 not in the DDLB...)
