Status bar disappeared

I had to disable something(?) in add-ons, in order to be able to read PDF's. It was Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plug-in, version 10.1.4 Did not have this problem before. THEN I noticed that my status bar no longer had my weather icon, date or showed status of loading site. Any questions I type take me to old answers, for Firefox 4 or so. I am using 14.0.1 iMac, 10.6.8

Same situation here. I have several icons that cannot be moved from the non-existent status bar, such as NoSquint and Delicious. They will not budge from the status bar.

Mozilla's removing the status bar from Firefox was a Microsoft move - we're going to do it, you have no say in the matter, and, no, you don't have the choice to view the status bar.

Firefox removed the old style status bar in version 4, see What happened to the Status Bar?

Maybe you had the add-ons bar turned on for the weather icon? If that was the case, pressing command and / on the keyboard will bring it back up. See, The Add-on Bar gives you quick access to add-on features.

I have done the command /, just restores an empty status bar. The answer submitted does not work. I cannot get my weather or status working. I had to reselect disable the above add - on so i could read a PDF...I had tried resetting Firefox to see if that would help. The answers pertain to Firefox 4, I am using Firefox 14.0.1.
