Where did the url for links go? Used to be in the bottom left corner. Please help. Feels like surfing blind.....

After an hour of research, nothing.

Hate feature removal! Love customization. This should be an option somewhere!

Maybe somewhere in about:config?

Gonna have to switch browsers, as this is a deal breaker for me. Thanks

You should still see this information at the bottom of the Firefox window.

Do you see the status message when a page loads or are these gone as well?


Are you possibly using code in userChrome.css to hide this statuspanel information?

--- Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options/Preferences -> General -> Performance)
  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no lightweight theme)
  • default toolbar layout is used
  • xulstore.json is ignored
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder in profile folder)
  • JavaScript JIT compilers are disabled
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected
