Hi. Using mrotherguy’s fake_status_bar_w_bookmarksbar.css (together with multi-row_tabs_below_content.css) on Firefox ESR.

Just upgraded Firefox from 115 to 128, and also updated the multi-row tabs css. The fake_statusbar css has not been changed on mrotherguy’s github repository.

Just one new issue: when loading or updating a tab, the progress information appears in the status bar as it should, but it is now also appearing at the lower left of the page content (where it would normally appear without the fake status bar). How can that be eliminated?

    This needed just a small addition to fake_statusbar_w_bookmarksbar.css, just update and it should work.

      Thanks for the quick response. Loaded the new css, but unfortunately the issue remains: the loading information still appears in the old/normal position (lower left corner of window, just above the fake status bar), as well as in the fake status bar.

        Hmm, perhaps there’s some other condition relevant under which the issue still occurs. I tested with Tor Browser on Windows, and there the change I pushed fixed the issue.

          I’m using Windows 10, Firefox 128.8.0 ESR, in compact mode, with multi-row tabs below content. The multi-row tabs work fine, and the status bar (in which are my add-on icons) works fine, with the exception that the original status-panel still shows the link progress.

          At the bottom of the fake_statusbar_w_bookmarksbar.css file, there is a final group of lines with a comment referring to covering the real statuspanel. I wonder if it is in this area where something needs to be changed, but I don’t understand that group of lines, so I leave it in your capable hands.

            Sorry, but I don’t know what the issue could be. I’ve been trying all sorts of configurations but I cannot reproduce the issue you are describing anymore. I did find a problem that occurs when letterboxing is enabled and window is somewhat narrow where hovering a link then moves the web-content area - and fixed that though.

            The last part of the style that you mentioned shouldn’t even be necessary anymore because web-content is covering the statuspanel - this wasn’t the case in some older Firefox versions.

              Just to add a bit of data: the undesired status updating in the original status panel appears and transitions very quickly when a new link is loaded, so one has to be looking for it. But the same data that appears in the fake status bar, takes quite a bit longer when a new domain is being referenced, because of some issues with DNS lookup that one can find many threads about in Reddit.

              But this is a minor annoyance that I can live with until the next ESR update. Thanks for all of your terrific working in creating these amazingly helpful code groups and keeping them updated!
