How to show status bar in Firefox 4+?
The status bar was removed in Firefox 4.0 and later versions. Some of its features have been moved to other places. You will find it difficult using your addons in the newer versions of Firefox. Many addons such as Firebug, QuickJava or Elite Proxy Switcher, which are placed at the status bar to help you quickly access their features. Without the status bar, we hardly use these addons. The need for a status bar is necessary and obviously.
How to bring the status bar back? Fortunately, it is not so hard to get it back. We do this by using another addon called Status-4-Evar. The addon is developed by Sparky Bluefang. Status-4-Evar aims to bring back the old status bar together with the addon items on it. It currently works fine in the latest stable version of Firefox, Firefox 8.0.1.
You can find more information about this addon on its page. After a certain period of time using Firefox without status bar, now with the Status-4-Evar installed you will know the importance of it.
