Status line broken - can't see URLs before I clock on them
I use the status line to inspect URLs before I click on them to make sure they are legit. In 28 on OSX, this would show up as an overlay at the bottom of the window. Now it appears to be a box 15 letters wide next to the title bar. This isn't enough space to determine if the link is legit.

Do you use the Status-4-Evar extension?
S4E intercepts the messages to put them in the reconstructed Status Bar, but I don't think it works in Firefox 29 without adding an Add-on bar (using an add-on). You could try this extension to re-create the Add-on bar, then move the bunched up control down there to see whether that works.

Alternately, if you disable S4E then Firefox should float the URLs and other messages over the bottom left of the page.
Does any of that help?
