Optimization Extended Statusbar

    What is the problem?


    By default, the Fox status bar's information content is more than meager. It expands with the help of the Extended Statusbar , which implements the functionality familiar to users of the Opera.

    But here another problem arises - if other extensions wish to settle in the status bar, it will become extremely crowded. For example, during page loading, when a progress bar appears there, link addresses are not visible if you hover over them. And this despite the fact that I seem to be not the smallest monitor.

    The salvation lies in the fact that the extension interface is described by simple XML files that can be edited and get the desired profit.

    I have Windows XP, so I am writing how to do it for her, with the exception of the first step, in my opinion this is the only thing that will differ from OS to OS.

    Sleight of hand and no fraud

    1. In% APPDATA% / Mozilla / Firefox / Profiles /% profile% / extensions you need to find a folder with our extension. It has a long alphanumeric name, and something tells me that it is different for everyone (I could be wrong).

    2. In the specified folder we find the chrome directory and the extendedstatusbar.jar file in it, which can be opened even by WinRAR

    3. In the .jar file, we are interested in the localization file and the template of the actual string. Locale is found in locale / ru-RU, extendedstatusbar.properties file and lines
      esb.document = Document:
      esb.images = Images:
      esb.loaded = Uploaded:
      esb.time = Time:
      esb.speed = Speed:

      At home, I replaced them with
      esb.document = D:
      esb.images = I:
      esb.loaded = L:
      esb.time = T:
      esb.speed = S:

      Still, we do a tweak for ourselves, and we don’t seem to suffer from insanity - do not be afraid to forget what these mysterious letters mean.

    4. Now: /content/extendedstatusbar.xul
      In it
      ...

      Instead of “???”, if my memory serves me, it was 120, but it hurts a lot, I think. I set it myself much less, especially since if the size is not enough, the fields automatically expand to the content. Reasonable minimum, IMHO, - 60px.

    5. PROFIT :)

    If you know English and not be too lazy, you can tweak this file a little more at will, not forgetting to close the browser before packing the files back, but it seems to be enough. At least, my savings are obvious . :)
