ADVERTISEMENTS



Fission is a cool new funky Firefox addon that displays a progress bar inside your browser’s address bar.

It basically combines Firefox’s address bar and Progress bar like this:

You could change the colour of the progress bar, and align it to the right/left using the options available. Plus, you could also set a background image to your address bar.

Get the extension here.

    This plugin is very cool, great find. So at last I will get some relaxations to my eyes after looking deep down to the loader! :)

  • http://www.shankarganesh.com/ Shankar Ganesh

    Yes, but I found this plugin a bit distracting. ;)

    This is similar to Max OS, where firefox shows progress bar in address bar.

    Is there a specific page for this extension (other than the mozilla addon page, which is extremely brief)? That page says to check the developer’s page for more information, but all I can find is this one. I’d like to know more about how to customize the addon (use a custom image, shape the statusbar, etc).

    In any case, great extension! Thank you for making it and for making it available. Good job.

    B: I’m sorry I was unable to find the developer page of it. I’ll let you know if I find, but I think it’s hard finding one.
