| User Level | Any |
| Functionality | Very Simple |
| Complexity | Low |
| Interface | Good |
| General Usability | Good |

For me this is useful Firefox add-on but I would prefer an update of Statusbars for Firefox 3 or more options in Statusable that made it more like Statusbars.
Personally I rate this as:
Very Simple to Use – Does a Good Job – Could be much better
What Could Make it be Better?
- Options to move other add-on information to second statusbar
- Multiple Statusbars
- Hide/Display statusbars

I don’t know if I really need this plugin. But I will give it a try. Would be nice to get a little more out of Firefox.

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…

This is very useful, particularly when combined with other add-on which help with displaying the information that you need or using add-on options to limit what is displayed in the status bar. So if you need a bit more room in your status bars this certainly helps.
