making status bar "done" go away in Firefox 4
The new status bar has a "Done" message that sometimes will not go away. This is particularly problematic on Netflix, where "Done" persists, and is irritatingly obvious on the black background. Mousing over it simply makes it switch to the other side of the screen. I can't find any settings related to this - any ideas? I know there's an add-on to go back to the old status bar, which I might resort to, but surely is this solvable in Firefox 4.
I also can't figure out why the "Done" label is sometimes there and sometimes not, and sometimes appears when I haven't loaded a new page.

The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead. To just hide the Done message uncheck the setting to "Show default status"
Thanks, this is a solution, albeit not perfect. I was actually fine with getting rid of the gray status bar, as long as I could also get rid of "Done", but if this isn't possible, well, I'm used to the gray bar from Firefox 3, so that's okay.
To get rid of "Done", in the status-4-evar settings de-select "Show default status"
Yes, you already said that.
To clarify, it's not distracting when it's separated and in the gray bar. I have turned it off there, but no solution involving the gray status bar and status-4-evar is what I was looking for. I wanted to turn off "Done" in the base Firefox 4 (where it is distracting, because it's not separated from the rest of the screen, and is highlighted in white).

I've found that the problem is the Multi Links addon!! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-links/ Disable it and the problem stops :)
I've already reported it to it's developer.

I don't have the Multi Links add-on installed.
It's definitively one of your installed addons that's causing this. Do what I did in order to find out which one is: uninstall all addons + reinstall one-by-one. There's no other way.

Unfortunately, that's certainly not the case for me. The only add-on I had was Flashblock, and removing that didn't affect the problem.
Maybe code in userChrome.css works.
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[label="Done"] {display:none !important;}
