Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Firefox 4 browser was recently released by Mozilla. I upgraded the Firefox browser to 4. To my surprise i saw that the Status Bar was missing in Firefox 4.

Status Bar in Firefox 4 is more like a on or off thing. It comes up when there is any information to be shown. For instance, if you hover the mouse over the hyperlink, the Firefox 4 Status Bar would show the URL. Move the mouse away, status bar will be hidden.

Mozilla Removed clutter, and gave us maximum screen space. And made it lean and fast. Things like this just clutter it back up. And probably slow it down.
