How to move status messages to location bar?

The "Location Bar Enhancer" add-on has a feature to move status and progress messages to the location bar instead of on the bottom left of the screen. Since updating to FF25+ or Aurora26+, this feature stopped working and the status text has returned to the bottom left, which for me is useless and unreadable. Other add-ons and stylish scripts which affect the location of the status text have also ceased to function in these builds, so clearly this is a change in firefox itself and NOT an add-on conflict or something else. A search through the chrome files shows nothing changing regarding status text location, so I'm here to ask that you undo this change which you have hard-coded into FF25+ and Aurora26+ or tell me how to alter my add-ons and scripts to again put the status text in a useable location.

I think that code in userChrome.css should still be working.

I have this code for the background color of this pop-up and it still works in Nightly, so nothing seems to have changed with regard to the statuspanel. 

/* Status panel */
statuspanel {
 max-width:90% !important;
}
.statuspanel-label {
 background:#ff9!important;
 color:black!important;
 font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"}

For specific messages you need to use: 

statuspanel[type="overLink"] .statuspanel-label
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Looking"]

Which code are you currently trying to use?

To which position do you want to move this text?
