Firefox shows the page loading status as a popup on the left bottom corner of the window. I want to switch off this feature, but cannot find a way to do this, it is not in the options.

suppress page loading status, in lower left corner

You can hide/show the add-ons bar (formerly status bar) with "Ctrl+/", which is the same as ["Alt"] > View > Toolbars > (check on/off) Add-ons bar

For more control over the add-ons bar try the "Status-4-Evar" extension (34KB)

I have the add-ons bar disabled. The "page loading" popup however is still displayed when loading a web page in the bottom left corner of the window. When the page is finished loading this popup disappears.

What i want is not to see this popup at all, as it is very distracting. Cannot find any option to disable it in the about:config either.

Thx.

ideal for me would be to keep it for link preview but lose it for page loading, but if i could just get rid of it, i'd do that. any help on this?

ok, i made this go away by installing the add-on status-4-evar , which reverts to the old status bar, and then simply hiding the add-on bar thru view->toolbars

mark solved i guess? or worked around at least
