The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.

Thank you that worked well! Now is there add-on or way of getting old Firefox menu text? New one are blurry even if hardware accelerator turned off. I have clear type fonts tuned on Windows 7.
