Those using Firefox version 3.0+ may have noticed a tooltip comes up when you hover on the url icon, providing some details about the domain you’re visiting. While possibly useful, this feature, enabled by default, effectively prevents usage of the toolbar bookmarks via drag&drop, if the target bookmark toolbar folder lies just under the address bar.

The solution is to disable the tooltip, by setting variable browser.chrome.toolbar_tips to false in about:config.
