Yes, please keep it. Those people who prefer the Chrome layout, have probably switched to Chrome by now (it's very fast!). The reason why many of us haven't switched to Chrome is because we ''like'' FF. Please consider why. [[User:Jim Danner|Jim Danner]] 15:29, 25 November 2009 (UTC) | Yes, please keep it.

The accompanying text on the [[Firefox/4.0 Windows Theme Mockups]] page doesn't talk about it, but the pictures are clear, and the [[Firefox/Projects/Windows Theme Revamp#Long-Term_.28Firefox_4.0.29:|Windows Theme Revamp]] page says it out loud: ''Remove StatusBar; Relocate StatusBar Content''. This is the current plan for Firefox 4.0. | |||
I don't want to lose the status bar. It contains important 'status' information from many extensions. It shows the URL of a mouse-hovered link. Where would that be visible? In a tooltip after hovering for 2 seconds? That's a waste of time. | |||
Also, I wonder what "Relocate StatusBar Content" will mean. Where does it go? Is that aesthetically better? Hard to judge if it's not in the mockup. Please keep the status bar. [[User:Jim Danner|Jim Danner]] 16:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
