Page is loading and the status bar “pop-up” shows at the bottom of the browser window page has loaded - status bar disappears you mouseover one or a few links on the page you’re reading - and the status bar shows then hides then shows again… On/off, on/off, on/off… hundreds of times! It’s visually distracting.Ī bit of history: Google Chrome was the first browser to introduce this annoying “show/hide status bar” behavior and then many other browser vendors started adopting it as well. In my opinion, displaying and hiding the status bar based on context, is not ideal UX (user experience).
Here’s the catch though - you can display the status bar in a few different ways:Ī) it can be either permanently on display at the bottom of the browser window (which was the default for all browsers only a few years back) ī) or, you can display and hide it based on context - which is the new default for most browsers, including Firefox. In one word: the status bar is something very, very useful! When a web page is loading (1), the status (2) bar may display brief glimpses about its loading progress. Or, when you mouse over a link on a page, the status bar will display the URL even before you click on the link. For example, while a web page is loading, the status bar may display brief glimpses about its loading progress.

But there was this excellent little extension that could bring it back in just a click: install Status-4-Evar, and bingo, the status bar is back! :-)īut what’s a status bar, you may ask? Usually it’s a little ribbon near the bottom of the browser’s window which can display a variety of information whenever needed. To be fair, in Firefox 56 and earlier, the status bar was in a way missing too. One thing is missing though - OK, maybe not one, but one that highly annoys me: the status bar.Īnd I am not the only one - Google “predictive results” suggests that probably thousands of people search for the status bar in the latest Firefox release.
It’s fast, secure, and it has great support for all the latest “bells and whistles” in HTML/CSS/JS. The new Mozilla Firefox Quantum is quite cool.
