If you mean what used to be the Status Bar and is now the Add-ons Bar at the bottom of the Firefox Window you can toggle it on/off with "Ctrl+/" or "Alt" > View > Toolbars > Add-on Bar

Suggest reading, particularly item # 10...

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.
