Firefox 58.0.1 64 bit on 64 bit win 7

Grrrr @ popups. this includes the popup statuspanel ( the tool-tip popup that tells me when a website is loading, urls, etc...)

i DO want to see it. I DON'T want it to be popping up and down distracting me. Before i was able to use extensions or addons ( like Satus-4-Ever, Addon Bar, ect. ) to dock the info. But from what i'm reading Mozilla said "Screw you customizable toolbar people! Let's try and push you to switch to google chrome or internet explorer!" and did away with the toolbar addon compatibilities.

So i've dug into to the web and docs and found out about userChrome.css and actually am able to effect some changes to StatusPanel. But i can't find a way to dock it, make it static (eg: "Done." when done loading) or to keep it from popping up and down without actually losing it.

Does anyone have a solution?

Chosen solution

The statuspanel is hidden with opacity:0

  • chrome://browser/content/browser.css
statuspanel[inactive] {
    transition: none;
    opacity: 0;
}

Does this work for you?

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.statuspanel-label {background:#FF9!important; color:black!important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"}
statuspanel[inactive] {opacity:1!important}
statuspanel[inactive] .statuspanel-inner::before{content:"Done"; color:black; background-color:#ff9;}
statuspanel[inactive] .statuspanel-label {opacity:0}
