Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open http://firefogg.org/j/bugs/linkpreview.html 2. move mouse over 'link' Actual Results: url preview stays around at bottom Expected Results: url preview should be removed if the link that is previewed is removed from the dom

I have reproduced the alleged bug in: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110403 Firefox/4.2a1pre Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110403 Firefox/4.2a1pre

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110407 Firefox/4.2a1pre Confirming issue on latest trunk. Present ever since Firefox 3.6.16

Same Issue/Dupe of 629024? Like that one it's repro'able against 3.5. and thus not related to Bug 541656. It's just more obvious now ;-).

The front-end actually just reacts to setOverLink() calls from the core. That ends up being triggered by nsGenericElement::LeaveLink in the link-hover case - seems like we should make it fire when links are removed from the DOM, somehow.

Backed out because of excess of stupidity. I put some stuff that shouldn't be in the patch or even pushed the wrong patch (didn't check in details). Backout rev: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f9fbee492a5c
