    The Firefox status bar

    I know this must be a lame question, but I ask it after a lot of
    searching and experimentation . I can not get a string to print into
    the status bar of a Firefox browser.

    Is it the case that if any extensions for firefox put anything in the
    status bar that window.status() status() are bolluxed up?

    Thanks in advance for the info.

      By default, Firefox status bar can't be modified by script. Users can
      change that in about:config, I expect very few have.

              Actually there is checkbox in Options / Content / Javscript (Advanced)
              / Allow scripts to modify statusbar, but I doubt many users change it
              from there either.
