How to verify a tooltip text using mouse over in selenium?

Question

I have a test scenario that is to verify a tooltip text on a particular element so I tried to use a Selenium inbuilt keyword "Mouse Over <xpath>" but this doesn't work though the test is passing.

I also used other keywords such as "Focus <xpath>" and "Simulate <xpath> click" this also seems not working though the test is passing. I am currently testing on Firefox 3.6 browser.

Could someone help me if there is any such keyword that could hover the mouse on the html element to see the tooltip.

My HTML:

<div class="ng-isolate-scope" ng-show="document.showMultipleRolesTooltip > 1" items-list="document.userStudyRoles" fc-multiple-roles-rollover=""> 
  <div class="fc-multiple-roles-rollover resizeable-1">
    <div class="ng-binding ng-scope" ng-repeat="item in itemsList">  
      Microbiologist
    </div>
    <div class="ng-binding ng-scope" ng-repeat="item in itemsList"> 
      Extended Site Staff
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Use the Actions class to mouse-over (OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions)

Without using mouse hover also, we can get those tooltip by using the below code.

    String tooltip1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='fc-multiple-roles-rollover resizeable-1']/div[1]")).getText(); // use to get the first tooltip
    System.out.println(tooltip1);

    String tooltip2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='fc-multiple-roles-rollover resizeable-1']/div[2]")).getText; // use to get 2nd tooltip
    System.out.println(tooltip2);
