Display of page loading progress?

Reported by zeroFX | August 22nd, 2010 @ 07:13 AM

As the main purpose of this addon is to be able to get rif of most UI-areas ("bars"), it would be nice to have the page loading progress displayed in a tooltip next to the cursor. Preferably selectable as either a simple percent-counter or a little graph-bar.

    Tooltips are supposed to show context-sensitive information. As page loading progress doesn't really fall into that category, I would recommend the "Fission" add-on which shows progress in the address bar. Does that suit your needs?

    Yeah, that's right - it's not context-sensitive info. The thing is I use this addon: www.krickelkrackel.de/autohide/

    It sets FF into fullscreen-mode, but lets you access the Windows taskbar as if FF was in window-mode. The advandtage is that all bars are hidden automatically and do not "shove" the page down when displayed. Though there is an option to display the status bar on activity, that somehow foils the purpose of "autohide". That is also the reason, why a progress indicator would be nice to have. But I understand that's not what TooTip Plus was intended to do.
    If you have an idea, how to do it otherwise, I'ld appreciate it.

    All of the add-ons I know of need the address bar, tab bar, or status bar to show page load progress, unfortunately.
