StatusBars Cures Your S.O.L.-ness

Multiple Status Bars for FirefoxToo many icons down there in your statusbar?

Let me just tell you - your not alone. Firefox fans usually call this deadly addition S.O.L. otherwise known as statusbar over load. There is a cure. The solution to your problem, is to install one more Firefox extension named StatusBars.

I promise you, there will be no side effects and you will be able to continue to use Firefox without the shame of your peers. This extension gives you the ability to switch between multiple status bars with different content. You can then customize your statusbars icon, name and arrange the icons the way you want.

You can set up your statusbars so you have one for the site you are on (greasemonkey, adblock, rip, etc), one for general information (forcastfox, gmail notifier, stock ticker, etc) and one for webdesign (tidy, web developer, firebug, etc).

You too can once again have a status bar in Firefox that is neat, tidy and organized.  Don’t kick the habit - feed the need!

I’ve been SOL a time or two. :) Personally I just try not to install stuff that hogs space in the status bar. I like to keep it nice and clean.

Well, I installed a whole bunch of add-ons, but I use “Organize Status Bar” to hide items I don’t need, and to re-arrange stuffs. It’s available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1759

Status bars is a great concept, for people who have
an obssesion with extra extras etc.
But there seems to be a problem. No help, except for
a youtube clip I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTQCwtJ_pX8

Also Status bars, when changing settings slows down my Firefox to a serious crawl, almost to the point of crash.

If this slow problem were fixed, i would recommend it as an great asset to Firefox etc. Hope it gets fixed soon !
