My Status Bar Add-On Disappeared; What Gives?

Hello,

I downloaded FireFox v. 4.0.1 months ago, and was able to download the Status-4-Ever Add-on that allows you to keep the old style of the FireFox status bar at the bottom of the page in its own toolbar. I like this as it not only showed clearly the status of a page you were trying to access, but you could scroll over something on the screen, and it'd give you the location of the page you were trying to access.

Anyway, I get on my computer, today (June 3), and just over night the status bar has disappeared. I've tried messing around with Status-4-Ever but can't get back the status bar on the bottom of the page. What gives?

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Hi Firefoxxed,

Try Ctrl+/ to bring it back that is the keyboard shortcut for View -> Toolbars -> Add-ons Bar, it will toggle that option on or off, and was the only good thing to come out of this.

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)
