[Bug 1612251] [NEW] Firefox gives too large tooltip space to small messages

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

Public bug reported:

I have not noticed this before today. The issue is that on many
different sites a small message (in fact, any message, except for when
cursoring over the text on tabs, that appears fine) is given a rather
large tooltip no matter how small the text amount is:

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 and Firefox 48.
