Get popup alt attributes in Firefox

One thing I miss in Firefox is having an image’s alt text appear when you pause your mouse over it. Apparently someone else did too, because there’s a Popup ALT Attributes extension. There is even support for multi-line alt tags by modifying the user.js file.

Actually the 'title' attribute shows the popup text. The 'alt' attribute is not meant to be doing that (see standard). It also works on 'a' tags.

Yes, but usually there's some good info in the alt tag.
