StatusBars - multiple status bars for Firefox
Are you a Firefox extension junkie? Us too. Most of the extensions we have installed put useful information in the status bar, which is great, but causes quite a bit of clutter. Worse, when we need to launch a child browser window (like we have to all the time to write these Download Squad posts), those child windows are also populated with all of the status bar gunk that comes from our extensions.
What to do?
Well, most people would recommend paring down on our number of installed Firefox extensions. But we're not most people. Instead we went looking for a utility that will let us manage our status bar by creating multiple versions of the status bar, then mixing and matching which items would be visible in each one. Hello, StatusBars.
Now you might think that solving the problem of having too many extensions installed by adding yet another extension is unwise, and you're probably right. But hey, this is our machine, and we'll clutter it up as we please. Eyes on your own browser, mister.
