***Mozilla Firefox and the alt Attribute***

If you use the alt attribute in Firefox on images and image maps the text 
will not show on mouse-over as in other browsers.

Firefox uses the alt attribute the way it's meant to be used, like an 
alternative text if the image won't load, not as a mouse-over text.

Firefox does support mouse-over comments on images or image maps if you use 
a title attribute in the <img> tag.

E.g. <img src="image.gif" alt="bla" title="bla bla bla"

Hope this provides an answer :-)
