The status bar is blocking my content, is there a way to disable it via Javascript and the likes?
I'm working on a site that requires a bottom footer in a fixed position, with a control button on the left hand side, my problem is, that the `new` status bar area covers this section for quite some time whilst it's requesting data, or waiting for the server, is there a way to disable it via JavaScript or some sort? It seems kind of silly for a status bar to cover your content (no offence), the old way was much nicer, sure it used more screen space, but atleast it didn't assume things. I just couldn't find a solution anywhere else, other than to move the button. :)

You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#statusbar-display { display:none!important; }
