For some odd reason I noticed that the status bar text dynamically changable by javascript is disabled on default. Here’s how to re-enable it. Depending on your version, Operating System and certain updates click either tools options or edit preferences whichever is availible. Click the content globe. To the right of Enable Javascript, click advanced. Click the check mark next to Change Status Bar Text. Click okay, click okay. Done.

A lot of toolbars that come set up as default on firefox are useless and they take up room. Right click the toolbars and remove the checkmarks on the ones you don’t need. The only ones you need are the file menu bar, the navigation, and the address bar. The rest can be scrapped.
