Firefox Extension: StatusBars
If you’re a Firefox user, you probably love installing and testing the numerous add-ons available. One downside to having a lot of extensions is that your status bar tends to get really crowded.
Just to make things clear, your status bar is that bar at the bottom of your browser. Take my status bar for instance. I’ve got the Search Status, Compete, ReminderFox, JSView, ScribeFire add-on, and a few others down there. Yep, it’s a jungle down there.

The StatusBars add-on for Firefox will help you organize your statusbar by letting you set up and switch between multiple bars. This is great for me since I can have a general bar containing ReminderFox, Gmail Manager, and Search Status, while having different bars with different content. Just right click on your statusbar and select the one you want to switch to.

Configure the colors you want your statusbars to have, what you want on it, and you’re all set.

Definitely one of my new favorites heh.

Hi,
I didn’t know there are such things in firefox, they are nice, I had firefox before and for some reasons it annoyed me and I had to remove it, I read that many people write about it and like it!,
may be I need to reconsider it, sometimes if someone is ignorance and install somethings without enough knowledge then he\she might not understand it well,
Anyway, thank you for this,
Regards.

This is what I love about Firefox. Someone actually cares to develop a special plugin - for a status bar! Looks cool too.

This is a unique extension that may be useful for people with a lot of things in the status bar. My only reservation is that for some people it is too much screen real estate that it eats up.

It’s about time they made this.
I do have quite a few things on mine and I like to have room to see the address listed on the bottom left when I hover on a link! I had to remove my foxforecast weather extension because of it!

@Jawwad:
It only displays one status bar at a time so nothing changes. You’ll just have multiple bars and be able to switch between them
@Bobby:
Hehe I think I removed a couple of extensions just because there was no space left in my status bar
