Reclaim Statusbar Space in Firefox with Statusable
Posted by: Barry Cleave in Firefox Add-ons, tags: Add-ons, Firefox, Freeware, Independent Review, Software, Utilities, Windows, WIndows Vista, Windows XP
What Is It?
Statusable provides a second statusbar in Firefox that displays the “progress bar” and some standard text
Why Would You Want It?
Numerous add-ons in Firefox use the statusbar to display information. Statusable provides a second statusbar displaying progress and some standard text. This frees up the standard statusbar to display other information. This is very useful, particularly when combined with other add-ons which help with displaying the information that you need or using add-ons options to limit what is displayed in the statusbar. So if you need a bit more room in your statusbars this certainly helps.
ProReviewer has previously reviewed Statusbars by Marius Gunderson which did a great job in helping to organize what is displayed in multiple statusbars for Firefox 2. Unfortunately this has not been updated for Firefox 3.

What I want is another statusbar so that I can give room to my icons that can not be displayed due to shortage of space in current only one statusbar. That way I could have all of my addon icons displayed on the statusbars. Is it possible.!!!!

That’s actually a good find. With the new laptops and monitors now in the “wide aspect ratio” format, vertical space is at a premium. I hate those toolbars ( that’s you Yahoo! ) that get bundled into other software and steal 20-30 pixels of my browser space…
