Organise Status Bar screenshotThe little bar at the bottom of Firefox can soon become filled-up if you’re always installing extensions. You may eventually find yourself floundering in status bars for everything from downloaders to security warnings. Organize Status Bar (OSB) enables you to organize your status bar icons and keep your browser organised the way you want it. You can rearrange or hide any item – icon or text – in the status bar.

Once the extension is installed, to arrange the status bar items, simply click ‘Tools->Addons/Extensions’ and click the Organize Status Bar entry. Note that you’ll have to reinstall and restart your browser after installation. Once selected, you can easily move elements in your status bar including program icons and even the progress bar that shows how quickly or slowly your pages are loading plus any security symbols that appear.

Simply select the name of the icon and move them up and down with the ‘up’ and ‘down’ boxes on the right. You’ll find this an excellent tool if you’ve got a lot of extensions although if you’ve got 10 or less, you probably won’t find much need for it.
