Some time ago, I came here with a question about the missing status bar, mainly that long links would be displayed in a tiny box, truncating them so that I would need to click on them to see their full length. I was pointed to a plugin called Status-4-Evar, which solved the problem and worked wonderfully. That is, until Firefox automatically updated itself to 16.0.1. The status bar has completely disappeared, and the plugin seems to be accomplishing nothing. Is there any way to fix Firefox to work with this plugin, or any setting to elongate the link display box to fill the entire length of the window?

I use code like this in the userChrome.css file.
It is best not to use the full width or you get problems if the link is at the bottom of the screen.

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line. 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

/* Status panel */
statuspanel { max-width:90% !important; }
.statuspanel-label { background:#FF9!important; color:black!important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"; }
