*Except* ... I restarted FF and lost the ability to have URL targets 
displayed in the status area.

Turned Link Status Redux back on, then back off, the URL targets haven't 
appeared below.


Flaky and frustrating - what idiot thought it a good idea to remove the 
ability to know what one is clicking on?!?


As I'm reading up on it a bit, I see others asking to disable the hover 
effect, and others having issues with older versions conflicting with 
Status 4 Evar (sp?), and someone simply restarting FF to fix it.


I'm not having any such luck.


A final issue I'm noticing infrequently: some pages seem to be 
truncated, even on

The scroll bar indicator is partially below the bottom of the window, 
and "Android Browser" is the last clearly visible text on bottom right, 
with something that looks like "iOS Browser" being partially legible 
below it.


Maybe wait for FF 57.1 if you're thinking of upgrading.  It's promising 
but quirky so far.

Does Chrome / Chromium hide this info too?
