How to enable Status Bar in Firefox newer versions

After the overhaul of Firefox(from version 4) and in sync with the faster development cycle (à la Google Chrome) Mozilla guys has removed the status bar in Firefox 4 to make make way for more screen space and also to imitate Google Chrome. Lots of existing users may be wondering where the good ol’ Status Bar has gone.

The Status Bar removal may have affected the users who are heavy users of Firefox Extensions. To appease them, they have introduced a new feature called Add-on Bar.

To enable or disable the Add-on Bar, there are many ways:

1. Press Ctrl +/ (Ctrl and / together).
2. If you have enabled the Menu Bar, go to View > Toolbars > Add-on Bar
3. If you have not enabled the Menu Bar, click on the Firefox button(on the extreme Top Left) then go to Options > Add-on Bar
