This toggles between full-screen mode in FF3 and IE7. Both of these browsers have a setting to auto-hide the toolbar and tab bar that is on by default. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/remove-the-status-bar-completely-from-firefox#post-45645 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:37:12 +0000 Lighthouse 45645@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No probs mate :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/remove-the-status-bar-completely-from-firefox#post-45644 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:35:30 +0000 Wikzo 45644@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Oh, how simple and easy.

If it's the same as FF2. View &gt; Status bar ( unselect it). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/remove-the-status-bar-completely-from-firefox#post-45637 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:20:51 +0000 Wikzo 45637@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have just tried the new Google Chrome browser, and I like the idea about a minimalistic GUI and a focus on the content on the websites.</p> <p>I use Firefox 3 - and won't probably switch before Google makes some great extensions - and my problem is that I think the lower status bar is taking too much space of my screen. I am rarely using the status bar for anything, so why not just use the space to show the website?</p> <p>In this How-To there is a way to make it hide automatically but I want it to hide forever. Is there a way to do this, maybe an extension?<br /> <a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/auto-hide-your-cluttered-firefox-status-bar-items/" rel="nofollow">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/auto-hide-your-cluttered-firefox-status-bar-items/</a></p> <p>I have taken a screen shot where I've highlighted the bar I want to remove.<br /> <a href="http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/5909/firefoxdr2.png" rel="nofollow">http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/5909/firefoxdr2.png</a> </p>
