Is there a way to bring back link information at the bottom-left when highlighting a weblink or email address in FF29?

I used to use the Addon Bar in previous versions of Firefox...not sure why it was removed as a lot of people use it, but I now have the extension that brings it back. However....in previous versions of Firefox, at the bottom-left, there was a place where a link or e-mail address would be displayed if I hovered over it with the mouse cursor without clicking...that function seems to be gone now...? Is there a way to bring this function back in FF29? Also, why were separators removed....it seems like a pointlessly trivial feature to eliminate...I miss them for organizing my UI! :(

Thanks for any help or suggestions! :)

The links and email address are still shown in the new firefox as well, i the the extension that made the add-on bar come, is laying on topof it.

The feature that shows the link you are mousing over hasn't been removed in 29. Maybe the add-on you are using to restore the add-on bar is covering it. I've tested the Classic Theme Restorer and it seems to work correctly in this situation - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
