Firefox Address Bar and Progress Bar Combined - How To
Enhance Firefox with a Combined Address and Progress Bar
Are you a fan of the integrated Progress Bar within Safari's Address Bar? The Fission extension allows you to replicate this functionality directly within your Firefox browser. Previously, webpage loading progress was indicated by the “Status Bar” and a spinning “Throbber.”
Fission Extension Options
Upon installation, exploring Fission’s options is recommended. The extension provides customization options, allowing you to modify the color displayed in the address bar. Alternatively, you can utilize a custom image for a personalized appearance.
Furthermore, you can activate any of the three available “Address Bar Features” as needed. In this instance, a blue color was selected for demonstration. The “Preview Feature” is particularly useful, enabling you to visualize the impact of color or image changes before applying them.
Improved Webpage Loading Indication
After reloading a webpage, a significant improvement is immediately apparent. The need for a separate “Status Bar” or “Throbber” is eliminated, providing a clear indication of the webpage’s loading progress directly within the address bar.
Conclusion
If you appreciate the streamlined combination of Address and Progress Bars found in Safari, or simply desire a more minimalist user interface, Fission is an essential extension for your Firefox Browser.
