Hi,
I think an icon on the status bar will be useful because sometimes the flagfox icon doesn't appear in the address bar when there is a problem loading a page, and then i can't access the option list, but from status bar i could access them all the time.
Thanks!
Icon in the status bar
Re: Icon in the status bar
The position of the icon doesn't affect what you're talking about. It will always use the same menu.
If you get an error page from Firefox, and you're still online, Flagfox will show a red error icon in place of a flag. You can still right-click on it to get the menu and use most actions. For example, I do this to use the Google Cache action in this situation.
(you can test this by gong to a page that doesn't exist, ex: http://www.adsgasdgadgadgsdgdg.com/)

Re: Icon in the status bar
When firefox is trying to connect a site and connection time out the red icon doesn't appear and if i want to check if the site is down i can't do this. And i don't think icon in status bar will be a problem. Flagfox has this option in one of the oldest version. I don't know why they decided to remove it.
Re: Icon in the status bar
Again, this has nothing to do with the position. The icon doesn't update until you're actually at a page. I've been considering finding a way around this for just this reason.emil9216 wrote:When firefox is trying to connect a site and connection time out the red icon doesn't appear and if i want to check if the site is down i can't do this.
I explained the reasons I removed that option instead of writing new support for the add-on bar after the status bar was removed in much detail here.emil9216 wrote:And i don't think icon in status bar will be a problem.

Re: Icon in the status bar
I am using Firefox 3.6 and i don't think to upgrade. I guess i have to find the old version of Flagfox with the option for icon in the status bar.
Re: Icon in the status bar
Mozilla will drop support for Firefox 3.6 sometime this year, after which point it will no longer get security updates, so you'll have to update eventually.
I also just remembered something: older Firefox versions would hide all address bar icons at some times, whereas I don't think current Firefox does at all (which I why I forgot about it).
