Wasted space under Firefox 4 addon status bar

I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. I enabled the add-on status bar, as it was under FF3.

There is now about 1" of extra unused space under the status bar (the bar is too high at the bottom of the page).

I ran FF4 with all addons disabled, enabled the add-on bar, and the bar appeared ok with no problem.

I have probably two dozen addons installed. I disabled several selectively, but the problem remained.

Any suggestions as to how to diagnose this problem?

Thanks,

Fred

Do you have this add-on installed? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

The reason I ask is because the status bar was removed in Firefox 4, so you shouldn't be seeing anything at all at the foot of the browser unless you've installed that add-on.

Hi:

Yes, I have Status4evar installed. However, I found that I can enable the status (addon) bar via View -> Tool bars -> Add-in toolbar.

Below is a list of my addons. Could you please compare this list with your addon list? If you can provide a list of addons that we both have installed, then I can try to selectively disable those addons.

Thanks very much,

Fred
