Latest upgrade has Chrome problem. How to avoid mouse hover comment blocking selection?

Hello,

I switched from Chrome to Firefox because of an incurable setting within Chrome when I would attempt to access certain items. The setting in question is what causes a comment to pop-up when the mouse is hovered over the selection, rather than only popping-up when specifically selected. Because of this, I am unable to select the check box I need due to the comment automatically blocking the box's line of sight. I am now forced to use IE just for this reason. Please help.

Thanks

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Sorry, that doesn't look like a Firefox tooltip, or something that could be turned off in Firefox. It looks like a feature of that webpage. Have you looked at the user preferences for that website to see if the user can turn those off?
