Does anyone know if it is possible to control what FireFox puts in the tool-tip windows that are displayed when hovering the pointer over the icons in the bookmarks toolbar? The default content seems to be a combination of the 'Name' and 'Location' fields from the properties dialog for the bookmark.
Ideally, I'd like to make it not display the 'Location' part in the tool-tip, and possibly not even the 'Name', but would really like it to show the properties 'Description'.
The motivation behind this is that I save screen real-estate by clearing the 'Name' field; this eliminates the text that appears to the right of the icons, so I can jam dozens of the things in. The tool-tips help identify an icon when I forget what it stands for, but with Name erased, that leaves only the Location, and those aren't always as obvious as http://superuser.com is. And usually, to preserve the information, when I clear out the Name field, I just paste it into the Description field. Hence the desire to make the tool-tip show the Description text.

If you're concerned about screen real estate, you might look into the Smart Bookmarks Bar Firefox extension.
