That's kind of annoying. And it defeats the purpose of what, 5+ years of 
people's code? Are you sure this isn't a mozilla bug/lack?

That doesn't sound like a reliable solution, especially when you're rolling 
over multiple things in a row...

We do alt tags. If mozilla ignores those and doesn't pay attention to anything 
other than title, well, IMHO that's a really annoying feature and mozilla 
should be fixed. This one I'd be much more swayed by a patch, though.
