How can I make the activity bar default to the right FF window bottom instead of the left?

The activity bar that pops up whenever a page or page item is loading defaults to the left bottom of the FF 4.0 window. It shifts over to the right bottom when I put the mouse pointer on it. But then it's back on the left the next time. Is there any way to make it default to the right side permanently? With most sites it's less in the way there.

You can remove it altogether if you want. Go to View | Toolbars | Customize. You'll see a panel open. Drag anything you don't want in there. Likewise you can add from there too.

If you simply want to move it, drag it anywhere you like while that panel is open.

Thanks. Rolling over it will force it to the right side, but just until it pops up again. Because it's forced to the opposite side anytime it's rolled over, I can't grab it to move it to the inactive Toolbar bin. If possible, I'd like to keep it but have it default to the right instead of the left.

You can try adding this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ I use it myself because I prefer to have a permanent status bar. The loading bar is located on the right side.

Thanks for that. Status-4-Evar works. Even though the status indicator is still on the left, it's not covering something I'm trying to see.

Try setting the alignment to "Right". See screenshot.
