    Is there a way or firefox plugin that will let me see the text that is displayed in the Status bar in the bottom of the Firefox browser? Most of the times, the text displayed in the Status bar is small enough or short enough that it fits onto my screen. But I'm having a rough time when the text is too long and it gets cut off at the end because there isn't enough space to display it. Am I making sense?

    This might be a very simple question, but I've played around with Firefox options and google and still was unable to figure this out.

    What theme are you using?? I saw similar issue with some theme' I was trying out some time back, but I am not sure if this just due to the theme. Is it the same with the default firefox theme as well?

    I'm using Firefox's default theme at the moment.

    hmm... I have no idea.

    Searching around gives lots of hits on status bar extension / addons for firefox, though I am not sure if that would help solve your issue. You could try though.
