Two items in the Advanced JavaScript window were removed as of the Firefox 4.0 version, but they are still available thru about:config .

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Filter = dom.disable_window_status_change = double-click to toggle to false to allow websites to mess with status text.
