This is not an issue of functionality. But in convenience. When you click on a link or pass over a link in a webpage, at the bottom of the browser it shows the url. sometimes if you hover or that it switches to the other side of the browser. For example: The Link is firefox. Hover over it and at the bottom is shows http://www.mozila.org. And if you click on it while it is going to the website, if you hover over the URL it moves to the other corner of the browser. My question is - is there a way to disable that function in Firefox. Sometimes that URL just sits there if you don't have over it or click it off. It's just a bit annoying at times.

That can happen if the link is at the bottom on the browser window and is (partly) covered by the link preview notification that used to be on the status bar in previous Firefox versions. If you hover such a link that is covered by the pop-up the Firefox may swap that link for right to left or vice versa.

You can use this extension to hide the pop-up that shows the URL of a link on hover and other data that previously appeared on the Status bar.
