Public bug reported:

I have recently noticed that if I go to a website and then hover my
mouse over a link, it will give me an indication of the URL in the
standard Firefox way in one of the bottom corners of the browser,
however if the link for whatever disappears (for instance if some JS is
triggered and it hides the link) the URL indicator will stay there until
I mouse over another link, and if there is not another link, then it
will just stay there and become a real nuisance.

It sometimes even happens if the page moves down for whatever reason
while my mouse is over a link, and it doesn't seem to register that my
mouse left the link.
