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.
