carbon: DataTable: Tooltip in a sortable header doesn't show on mouseover in Firefox

Detailed description

Describe in detail the issue you’re having.

In Firefox, a Tooltip in a header that is sortable in the DataTable does not show the tooltip text on mouseover. The issue only appears to exist in Firefox and only when the header is sortable. Here is an example of our headers array:

const myObject = (
  <Tooltip triggerText={t('example')}>
    {t('exampleTooltip')}
  </Tooltip>
);

headers = [
  {
    key: 'myKey',
    header: myObject,
},
// ...
];

I’m on the Firefox Developer Edition build and the tooltip shows up fine for me in the example codesandbox.

Super!! Thank you for telling it to us and trying it out @vpicone!

I also meet this issue, if this issue has any progress? or which release should include this issue fix? and my carbon versions are based on “carbon-components”: “^9.61.1”, “carbon-components-react”: “^6.60.1”, “carbon-icons”: “^7.0.7”,

Hi @emmafull! 👋 Thanks for taking the time to make this issue 😄

Would you mind including a codesandbox link to help us reproduce the issue here? There should be a link with a template in the issue template that you can use!
