Google search results with long titles don't have IDs

I started noticing this when I upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to 9.0.1. This is on 
Windows 7.

Do a Google search and look at the results. In some cases pages with long 
titles will not have the full title, instead they end with "...". These titles 
don't have any ID number showing so there's no way to activate them using mlb.

I think this is related to the fairly recent Google search functionality where 
page previews are shown on the right side when you mouse over the link. If 
there's any way to disable that it may be a solution (for me at least -- I 
don't care about that functionality since I don't use a mouse).
