Firefox Extended Statusbar

Extended Statusbar is a Firefox extension that adds a few useful information to the statusbar. Opera users might feel comfortably right away because the functionality has been taken from that browser and was ported – or shall I say cloned – to Firefox by the developer.

The extension provides four additional parameters that are displayed in the statusbar of Firefox. The number of images and how many have been loaded, the page size in Kilobyte, the download speed in Kilobyte per second and the time it took to download the complete website.

The benefit of using that extension is the additional information that are displayed by it. The display works perfectly fine on my 1280×1024 resolution, it might be problematic on monitors running on lower resolutions especially if additional information and icons are put in the statusbar.

The information take up roughly a third of the width of my computer screen.

    I love your articles but they would be more appealing if you put a screenshot of what you are “talking” about… it’s just a suggestion, you are the professional not me ;)

  2. Zachary says:

    …or you could just use Opera.

  3. Genisis says:

    Love the site as well! Screen shots? Sure, would be nice, but, when wanting to see the comments on the article, would be nice to click on “comments” and get just the comments and not a whole new page as well. Either way, keep up the good work! Will continue to read daily regardless. Just an idea.
