If I may point out, you did not ask WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE STATUS BAR? With v29, the add-ons bar was removed. Why? No one knows for sure.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page (There’s a lot of good stuff here)


The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

What are you using as far as downloading? Ohh I see it

Download Status Bar 9.2.5
Flash Video Downloader

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this; Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Why doesn't Mozilla support answer the question the user was really trying to ask. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE STATUS BAR?
