Preview Pane in Web Browser

When I point to my favorites in my web browsers, both IE7 and Firefox, it
displays the destination of the button. It's very annoying. Can I turn this
off, only for the browsers?
 
Am I right, you point and the web address appears at the bottom of your
browser and you want to turn it off because it annoys. Sorry but both the
question and the answer escape me.
 
Sorry. When I put my mouse arrow on a favorite name, like say, windows live
mail, a box appears alongside the arrow point with the "Id:# and a bunch of
other stuff like Command: <none> etc. it's like what we see on the taskbar
when we point at them, like the words over the privew like Rick-Microsoft
Outlook. I hope I didn't confuse you more.
 
I would have thought that was a very neat and useful addition. the drop tag
gives you the path to the file or folder you are pointing too.
 
Thanks, but it didn't do anything to the pop-up pane within my browser. And
it's not giving me any useful info. For instance, when I point at Windows
Live in my Bookmarks/Favorites drop down, the pane reads: "Id: "ref#$FaZ6o,"
Command:<none>, OnCommand:<none>, Type:menu, Label: "Windows Live"...
which block my view of the sub-folders within individual folders. It's just
annoying, no big thing. Thanks for all you help, anyway.

Well, to me this looks like context menu code used by Firefox (which you
should not be seeing). It should not effect IE7, however, so how that's
happening I have no idea. Shawn's suggestion should have solved that. Does
the behavior persist if you go to Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox and
click on Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). If that tooltip behavior goes away, I
would suspect an extension that's a little screwy, perhaps one that adds
more buttons to the browser. Also, have you made any changes to the files
in C:\Users\(Your Name)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(Your
Alphanumeric Profile Name).default\chrome? Like making your own
userChrome.css or userContent.css?
 
IE7 is now fine after I did what Shawn recommended. No change with Firefox.
Still happens in safe mode. I went through and manually disabled my add-on,
nothing helped. I haven't done anything .ccs related.
 
Hmmm. On my computer, Firefox shows no bookmark tooltip at all, unless the
bookmark name it too long to fit in the Bookmark Sidebar, and doesn't show
any at all in the dropdown menu item for Bookmarks. Do your buttons show
this odd tooltip as well? Try this. Exit Firefox, and go to this folder:

C:\Users\(Your Name)\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(Your
Alphanumeric Profile Name).default

Delete XPC.mfl and XUL.mfl (they will be re-created). Run FireFox.

Too, sometimes Themes can override some of Firefox's default setting, even
in safe mode. You could try switching to the default theme, to see if that
works right.
 
Turns out the problem is with CuteMenus - Had to uncheck menu information
tooltip under "got missings Icons." Thanks everyone for your help. I really
appreciate it!
 
OK if seeing a read out of the file or folder path annoys you go
Start/Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab and click to un tick you
choices.
