How can I hide the annoying messages in the lower left side of the browser in 57?

That is, how can I hide the status bar showing me "Transferring this an that..." plus other messages that are flashing too fast to read?

Where can I find the docs on this sort of option?

Use Browser Toolbox to determine element IDs and go from there.

Note that you can use more specific selectors to hide only some of these messages.

statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Look"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Connect"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Wait"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Send"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Transfer"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value*="TLS handshake"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value*="FTP transaction"]

Thanks to Moses and cor-el for the help. Solved something that was really annoying me without having to use an add-on.

Perfect!

The solution in this thread is no longer working for me in Firefox Nightly. I have created a separate thread for a new one:

Note that it is just a matter of changing to IDs for Firefox 61.
