Specific features References
Customizable Status Bar
  • Allow the Status Bar to be customized like the toolbars can. Any toolbar button should be able to be put on the status bar and vice/versa
    • See Status Buttons extension, which already implements this idea.

bug 264205

take over Statusbar

The only thing I really need the Statusbar for is to preview the target address of links before clicking them. Most of the time the statusbar is just taking away screen space without providing any useful information.
If it would be possible to display the target location in the Address Bar (it really is the right part to show an address...), perhaps in another color (or perhaps only showing the changed part of the URL in a different color) then the statusbar would not be needed any more.

Terrible idea, says Gerv
Could be workeable, says Mgsloan
How about in a tooltip?
