Disable status bar without add-on
Is there a way to disable the status bar without installing an add-on on Firefox (i.e. Status-4-Evar)? If not, this is plain silly. I think users should have the option to disable the status bar without an add-on. I dislike the fact I'd have to download one add-on for one tiny little thing. I just don't like the status bar. I know what I'm loading, so I don't think I need to check where it's coming from. For how I use Firefox, it's completely useless to me.

Do you mean hiding that pop-up that slides open at the bottom of the window that shows status messages?
This sliding alert also shows links if you hover them on web pages.
Do you want to eliminate those as well?
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
/* use this code to hide all messages */
#statusbar-display { display:none!important; }
/* only hide some messages */
#statusbar-display[label^="Looking"] { display:none !important; }
#statusbar-display[label^="Connect"] { display:none !important; }
#statusbar-display[label^="Waiting"] { display:none !important; }
#statusbar-display[label^="Transfer"] { display:none !important; }
"#statusbar-display { display:none!important; }"
After the last update this does not work on my computer anymore. Could you tell me what I can do?

Use statuspanel instead:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
.statuspanel-label {background:#FF9!important;color:black!important;font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"}
statuspanel {display:none!important}
statuspanel {max-width:90%!important}
statuspanel[type="overLink"] .statuspanel-label
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Looking"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Connect"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Waiting"]
statuspanel[type="status"] .statuspanel-label[value^="Transfer"]
Thank you very much!
