In Firefox (Linux host if that makes a difference) the alt text doesn't
show.
Show where? Are you right-clicking on the image and viewing its
properties? If so, the alt text is there, but you'll need to scroll the
single-line 'Alternate text' field to see it. Also, if the referenced
image file were unavailable, the alt-text would appear in place of the
image.
If you were expecting the text in a 'tool-tip', then firefox does not
use image 'alt' text for that -- it *will* display the value of 'title'
attr (allowed on most HTML elements, unlike img's 'alt') in tool-tip
style.
