I've lost the tool bar at the bottom of the screen (not MS Task bar) where to I find it?

more options

I figure this happened when my kitties walked on my keyboard. GAH! I used to have a "toolbar" at the bottom of my FF screen. It's where some of my addon icons lived like No Script. It was also where I had the drop up menu for resizing text on the screen. Could someone please tell me how to get this "toolbar" back? I'm not even sure if it's called a toolbar or even a menu bar. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about. *crosses fingers*

Ctrl+/ will toggle the addons bar which replaces the Firefox Status Bar.

To bring back full functionality of the former Firefox Status Bar , see item #10 in the following involving installing the "Status-4-Evar" extensions and the settings you need for it.

You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)

Step #10 in the above includes explicit directions

I haven't gone over to the FF 4.0 yet. Very few of my addons work on the new version so I'm giving it some time before I switch. Do you know how to fix the status bar problem in the older version?

View > Statusbar = should have a check-mark, if not - click on that menu item

As far as waiting for extensions to be updated for Firefox 4, time to look for replacement extensions! Firefox 5 is slated to be released in 3 days - 6/21 @ 7 PM - PDT
