Where is the Status Bar in FF 7.0.1?
I have just updated to FF 7.0.1 from FF 3.6.16. I am unable to find the status bar in the new version, to know the progress of my web page downloads. How do I get the FF 3.6.16 Status Bar like function in this new version?

The Status Bar was removed in an earlier version of Firefox and replaced with the Add-on Bar.

You can regain some Status Bar functions by installing the Status-4-Evar extension.
- Install the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
- After install,
- Be sure the Add-on Bar is displayed; Options > Add-on Bar (or View > Toolbars > Add-on Bar), click to check "Add-on Bar"
- In View > Toolbars > Customize drag any or all of the 3 items to the position you want them on the Add-on Bar:
- Status text (this is the URL information you want)
- Download status (will display No Downloads or number of downloads in progress)
- Progress meter (meter of page loading)
- Set the options for Status-4-Evar in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
