Firefox 4 removes the status bar from the interface in order to save even more space in the UI. Instead of the status bar, Firefox displays the connection status hovering over your content, placed at the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the mouse is located. To host add-on icons, Firefox has a completely new add-on bar that appears in the same place, and can be quickly toggled with [Ctrl] + /. If you want to get back the old status bar that displayed connection status and other such information, you can do so by installing the Status-4-Evar add-on. Not only does this add-on bring back the old status bar, it adds a number of nice features that were removed/written for Firefox, but never made it in. For example, you can display the loading progress as line under, over, or inside the address bar.
