Chosen solution

You can install the following add-on to get some of the former Status Bar functions back. The Add-on Bar must be turned on. The add-on will also stop the showing of the "tooltip" type status loading text, and will, instead, show it in the Add-on Bar:

  • Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
  • After install and restart:
    • Open Customze window (Firefox button > Options > Toolbar Layout OR View > Toolbars > Customize OR ALT+V+T+C OR right-click in the empty space at the end of the Tab Bar and choose Customize)
    • While Customize window is open, drag "Status Text" (the URLs loading, as you mentioned), "Progress Meter", and "Download Status" from the Customize window to the Add-on Bar in the order and position you want them to appear. Then click "Done" button at lower right on the Customize window.
