Status Bar

twistedvincent · Post by **twistedvincent** » 2014-05-18, 09:51

I've looked at all the status bar options under tools but for some reason the status bar still isn't showing at all.

Any ideas???

Try the menu, View > Toolbars > Status Bar

Or press Ctrl + / on the keyboard to enable it.

Already tried both and nothing....

You mean that you have "Status Bar" checked under View > Toolbars, and still no status bar showing up ?

That's correct

Have a look at your add-ons, you may have an incompatibility problem. Try restarting the browser in 'Safe Mode' - that is with all add-ons disabled, If your 'Status Bar' returns you need to find and eliminate the offending incompatible add-on(s)

Well, I did as you asked and all that popped up was an X and kind of a bar at the bottom but when I went to pages with download links and such there was still nothing in the status bar. It's just a solid color.

Okay, so you've got your 'Status Bar' back, now go to 'Status Bar Options' and make sure it's configured like this:

You'll have to re-initialize the status bar code. Do this by setting status4evar.firstRun to "true" in about:config and restarting the browser.
It's also in the FAQ: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=391

I set status4evar.firstRun to true but it switches back to false upon restart....strange.
I also noticed that every time I enable the add on compatibility assistant it switches off at restart as well.

FirstRun switches back to false upon restart by design. That's not strange: it re-initializes the code, then flips the preference so it doesn't do it again on the next run.

Did it solve your problem, though?

Actually no, no status bar at all.

Refer to earlier post by petrus.

twistedvincent · Post by **twistedvincent** » 2014-05-20, 15:48

I've already done that as well and still no status bar. Very confusing.....

steviem1 · Post by **steviem1** » 2014-05-20, 16:03

Hmm, Okay restart PM in 'Safe Mode' again and while in safe mode go through the 'Status Bar' re-initialization sequence once more. What happens?

twistedvincent · Post by **twistedvincent** » 2014-05-20, 23:13

you mean go thru the about:config stuff again?

steviem1 · Post by **steviem1** » 2014-05-20, 23:25

Yes, restarting the browser in 'Safe Mode' to see if your 'Status Bar' is present and functions correctly, report back the result?

twistedvincent · Post by **twistedvincent** » 2014-05-20, 23:28

Still nothing....status bar is also checked under view as well and still nothing

Can you list your add-ons?

twistedvincent · Post by **twistedvincent** » 2014-05-21, 00:44

There's quite a few but no new ones. I've pretty much used all these add-ons for years.
