Firefox extension: A progress bar inside your address bar
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to receive the latest updates. Thanks for visiting!
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.

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!
Yes, but I found this plugin a bit distracting.
This is similar to Max OS, where firefox shows progress bar in address bar.
Didn’t know that, Nirmal
Thanks for the info
Nice find, will try this out soon. But I need to make space to add another extension as its already over flooding
Its not for me as i am an IE fan .
Madhur, May I know why you prefer IE over Firefox?
Oh well a good copy of Opera
Opera has this feature built-in
I dont know why but I miss my days of Opera

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.
