A google search popped up this reference which says firefox uses the alt
tag as intended:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Look at the section titled "Mozilla Firefox and the alt Attribute." It
says "title" enables mouseover comments, so I tried that with one of
your files and it worked (mouseover now displays the info); however, it
truncates everything past the first 
 .

On Safari, mouseover displays nothing when "alt" is used, but shows the
complete text when "title" is used.
