We recently installed Mozilla on our Rocks frontend node. We then realized that 
the tooltips don't appear when we view the ganglia web frontend with Mozilla. 
They do appear when we use Netscape on the frontend, or when we view that page 
remotely using Internet Explorer. 

I found a discussion about using "title" or "alt" (or both) to trigger tooltips 
at:

http://www.pmachine.com/forum/threads.php/?id=3628_0_12_0_C

It says "Mozilla only supports the title attribute text as a tooltip for images 
and links; it won't substitute the alt text. No title, no tooltip."

This page also contains a link to a discussion about which tag *should* be used 
for tooltips:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25537#c31

This whole subject seems flammable, and I certainly don't want to start any 
arguments here. However, if the ganglia team could consider coding the tooltips 
so Mozilla users could see them too, we would appreciate it...
