How do I get rid of the URL's that pop up at the bottom of the screen

Since downloading the new Firefox 4.0.1 today, I've been frequently annoyed by the URL's that pop up at the bottom of the screen. At least, I believe they are URL's. But that's beside the point. What I want to know is how to stop them popping up so annoyingly. They pop up any time I hover my cursor over a link.

They are the URL previews when you hover over a link. The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or URL previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.
