How can I restore my status bar?
I had a status bar, but I removed it because I wanted to try out something & the bar was causing a possible problem. Now I'd like to restore it, but I can't figure out how to do this. Please tell me it's possible. Thanks.

Were you using an extension to create that status bar?
If I recall correctly:
- Firefox 1-3.6 had a Status bar
- Firefox 4-28 had an optional Add-on bar, with status messages superimposed over the bottom of the page (above the bar)
- Firefox 29 and later do not have either of those bars, but there are extensions to restore the Add-on bar, such as Classic Theme Restorer and The Addon Bar (Restored)

Why did they remove it? Also, I have the "Classic theme restorer" add on. So how do I restore the bottom status bar?

Oh, you have CTR. Could you check the toolbar list, either:
- right-click a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
- tap the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > View > Toolbars
- in Customize mode > Show/Hide Toolbars (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)
Is the Add-on bar listed there?
If not, Classic Theme Restore has a zillion options and since I don't use it myself, hopefully you can find it in the Options dialog. You can open that from the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then find Classic Theme Restorer on the right and click its Options button.
