How to eliminate the "Drag and drop this icon to create a link to this page" hot tip from Firefox on Mac?

This thing has been driving me crazy for a year!





For some reason, on the Mac (Mac only), the Firefox browser materializes a message telling you that you can drag the icon every time you hover over the address bar icon for a site.





The raw deal here is:





a.) hot tip does not go away when you click the icon and begin dragging it (hello, if that does not say I got the message already then nothing does


b.) hot tip aligns itself perfectly with the bookmarks bar, the place I normally want to drop an address I am dragging


c.) covers 5-6 folder names in the bookmarks bar


d.) blocks the covered folder names in the bookmarks bar from receiving a dropped icon (flaw exists only on Mac version, not Windows one)


e.) the hot tip waits about 5 seconds before removing itself


f.) slows down bookmarking process a lot





This is the most absurd user interface "aid" I have ever seen in my life and I just want to know how to disable it.

Hi John...To disable this annoying 'drag and drop' features: type "about:config" in the address box and hit the enter. It shows a list of configurable feature, find "browser.chrome.toolbar_tips" item and double-click to turn it value to false. That's set.
