Disable tooltips with CSS

I frequent a message board (forums.sjgames.com) that pops up a preview
of a message when you hover over the topic's subject line. It does this
with title attributes in its markup. I find these previews extremely
annoying.

I thought I might disable the tooltips for that site with custom styles.
I know how to limit styles to a specific domain in Firefox, but I'm
wondering if there is a way for styles to manipulate the visibility of
tooltips caused by the title attribute.

I don't want to disable all tooltips in Firefox, just the ones from this
site.

a[title]:hover {display:none} might work.

No, it doesn't. I don't think you can use "display: none" on the link
pseudo-classes.

Does just a[title] {display:none} work?

This would make the whole link disappear. Not what the OP wants.

I do not believe that CSS can do what he/she wants. Perhaps a browser
configuration option exists to do this.

This would apply display:none to an "a" element having a title
attribute, hiding the link altogether on hover.

If you know an ID for the div the preview is displayed in you could
probably do #id_of_preview_pane {display:none !important; }
