Bug#706226: iceweasel: image titles not displayed when hovering (breaks XKCD!)

Fri Apr 26 17:10:55 UTC 2013

Package: iceweasel
Version: 20.0-1
Severity: normal

Hovering over an embedded image no longer produces a popup box with
the text of the image title.  For example, the following HTML
    <html>
      <body>
        <img title="This is the image title." src="somephoto.jpg">
      </body>
    </html>
should cause "This is the image title." to appear in a popup box while
hovering over the embedded photo.  The XKCD comic strip uses this
feature, for example.  This works in chromium and used to work in
iceweasel version 10.
