I agree the statusbar is very useful, mainly for seeing the URL of a link (so much so that it's the reason I don't use firefox in full-screen mode). However most of the time no useful information is shown, just 'Done' and a lot of grey. When the statusbar is in this state, why not automatically hide it to show more of the webpage?

*This should be an optional setting, not mandatory. Some people modify the status bar with add-ons such as IE Tab, Update Notifier, or any text-to-speech extension. Letting the status bar disappear automatically would be a great grief to these people. --[[User:Armaetin|Armaetin]] 19:44, 1 January 2007 (PST)
