Yes, all other tooltips in FF seem to be fine. It is only in the New Project and Open Project dialogs that there is an issue.

Just for kicks I opened several other apps -- Explorer, IE, VLC Media Player, PB/Win 8, PB/CC 4, etc -- and file tips appear as they should.

It is definitely localized to FF/Armadillo.

Good news! I have identified the source of the conflict and removed it from the system. It seems the DiskView plugin for Google Desktop Search -- which I tried and didn't like and forgot was there -- was the problem.

As DiskView is also shareware, I've suggested to Paul that perhaps it was a conflict caused by another "anti-piracy" system such as FF. At the very least, there is now a known problem that can be referenced in the future.

DiskView also appears to load its DLL when in diagnostic mode, even though the interface is not loaded. That made it a bit harder to nail down.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions and additional brain power, and especially to Paul for going above and beyond by creating and sending test apps.

Now, off with me to do a decent eval of FF.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Cool! That is great news that you tracked down the problem. I sent an
email to Armadillo support advising them of your discovery.

Awesome...BTW, were these test apps what found it or your own "brainpower"?  If apps, the apps and perhaps code would be a good addition for my tools.  Maybe even a possible addition to FF itself to detect at startup and report the problem before the protection software causes errors, etc over it.  It is always good to find problems before they occur so they aren't difficult to track down.

Unfortunately (for the purposes of automated gotcha checking) it was good old-fashioned brainpower. I had already been down the road of killing all apps, starting in diag mode, etc. So I decided to start looking for DLLs that might still be running, even though the "app" was not.
