The URL preview in the bottom left corner stays visible when clicking on a YouTube video if you don't move your mouse away from over it during the initial loading process

Any sort of fix or workaround for the issue would be great, as it's incredibly annoying and even stays visible when watching a video in fullscreen. Reporting it as a bug might be more appropriate but I can't be bothered to make a Bugzilla account just for that.

I can't reproduce it. Hovering over the url on the bottom-left side makes it move to the bottom-right side and it disappears after loading is complete. It will only remain visible when the cursor is hovering over a link.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

I managed to replicate it in a completely fresh install of Firefox, using Troubleshoot Mode has no effect. You just have to click on a video's thumbnail and not move your mouse away from over it until the video page starts loading.
