Would it be possible to just use OS-native tooltips instead of custom ones?

function create_window(id)
{ ... 
tt_div.setAttribute("style", ...

var tt_url_sp=id.href.split("/");
tt_div.innerHTML = "<img src="+tt_url_sp[0]+"//"+tt_url_sp[2] + "/favicon.ico> " + 
decodeURIComponent(id.href);
document.body.appendChild(tt_div);
}

// add favicon and translate UTF coded urls - actual for wikipedia and so :)

There's actually variables so you can change the colors/fonts for anything in the source itself. The file to edit should be under like C:\Documents and Settings\*USER*\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*random jumble*.default\gm_scripts. I made the script for a friend. I, myself, don't use it so I don't really have any motivation to fix all the bugs. He just wanted something simple. If I get enough complaints about the "scrolling off the screen" issue, I'll fix it.

I was looking for something that did what Opera 9.5 does, and this works. I'm not too crazy about the gray color, and when I hover over a link on the far right of the page, and the link is rather long, it scrolls off the screen (go to www.myspace.com and hover over "safety or "signup" at the top right of the page and you'll see what I mean). But otherwise, it works very well. Nice job.
