where is my page loading indicator bar that used to appear in the address box?

Just updated to FF 36.0.1. Now I no longer have the red bar that used to appear in my address box that showed the progress of a page loading. Do I need to set an option somewhere or is it an extension/plugin?

If you look at the disabled extensions, can you figure out which one is probably the obsolete one? Is it Fission -- on the Add-ons site, there aren't any updates for that one available?

I did see another extension that can place a progress bar in the address bar, but I got a little overwhelmed by all its features... you might have to turn off a few things to avoid clutter:

If you had a progress bar in the address bar, I think that probably was created by an extension. Perhaps the extension needs to be updated? You can check for extension updates on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, above the list, click the "gear" button and Check for Updates.

Also, if the extension is disabled it will appear at the bottom of the list on a grayed background. Hopefully after any available update you can re-enable it in that case.

Any improvement?

Did as you suggested. Got the message "No updates found." Still no progress bar!
