Why don't URLs show in the status bar when mousing over links any more?

Previously, when mousing over links, the status bar showed a link preview. Try it for yourself by mousing over this link, and learn more about it by clicking on it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-happened-status-bar . However, when mousing over links now, I can no longer see the link preview in the status bar. I am using the latest version of Firefox, 48.0.2. Why is this? Is this a bug, or is this a new "feature" of Firefox?

So I see... My problem was that the screen was extended all the way down below the Windows taskbar, thus leaving me unable to see the status bar. I resized the window, and then that sorted out the problem, allowing me to see the status bar.
