Late-model IBM-compatible desktop PC with AMD CPU, Windows 7 OS with Service Pack 1, Firefox 24.0.

In Internet Explorer 10, when I move the mouse around and it passes over a link, a bar at the bottom of the screen displays the URL of that link, so that I can immediately tell what I'd go to if I clicked on that link. Firefox Help has the same. In fact, with Firefox Help on, that same capability extends to other windows within the Firefox browser.

I'd like that same capability in all windows within the Firefox browser, without having other windows "inherit" it from the Help window.

Firefox too do that even if the Help window is not open.
