Firefox 4 was extraordinarily well received by the Internet community, with people downloading Mozilla’s latest browser over 60 million times when this post was written. The browser brought a range of improvements, from faster software processing speed to an improved tabbed layout.
However, some aspects of the famed web browser have suffered rather needlessly. Chief amongst these (rather regressive) drawbacks is the lack of a status bar. This came as quite a surprise to many users (especially those in the developer community) who relied upon the excellent variety of Firefox toolbars available, and were used to seeing specific toolbar activity in the Firefox status bar. These people saw their toolbars virtually disappear overnight.
A toolbar can be artifically added to Firefox 4 through a plugin. The best plugin for adding a status bar to Firefox 4 is the Status 4 Evar plugin.
