IE v FireFox tooltip text question

I view this forum at work using IE, and at home using FireFox
In IE if you hover over the "post subject" on the initial list screen the text of the first post is displayed as tooltip text (hopefully this is the correct phrase?). This is a nice feature as you do not have to go into the post to read it.
In FireFox it attempts to display the text but newline is not translated correctly (shown as a control character) and tooltip text looks like it is limited to N characters as it gets truncated.
I've done a (very) quick google but to no avail.
Is there any way to get FireFox to display tooltip text correctly? I'm not sure if it is a fault with FireFox or this forum (I've not tested if this difference happens on any other sites).
Any ideas?

It's because Firefox only displays the first 60 characters of the HTML title attribute. Read more about the title attribute and how different browsers bend the web standards at http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/.
There is a Firefox extension that 'fixes' the display of the title attribute here - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1715/0
