The status bar on my screen takes up 0.25" of space There are 16 icons/pieces of information displayed. That is a lot of value for the space it consumes! WHY would someone want to do that?

I have a whole lot of stuff in my FF status bar. But the left side is reserved for showing URL's when I hover over them.
