minor cosmetic glitch

I don't think that's got anything to do with NS itself, but with the build of Firefox I'm using (4.0b1-build2). When NS is updated, the NS icon in the status bar is being moved to the right hand corner of the status bar. That's a bit upsetting 'cause it's not found anymore where it's expected, i.e. where it's always been :D

Mmm, don't worry, they're gonna kill the status bar for good before Firefox 4 final, so the icon will probably need to be relocated somewhere else.
My current favorite candidate is the right-most part of the location bar(near the feed and the star icon), like it already is in Firefox Mobile.

oh okay, I should indeed keep in mind that the build I'm using will see many redesign processes (cosmetic as well as non-cosmetic) before the final is out, starting with JaegerMonkey...more superficially the new menu should be redesigned too... but that's off topic here. Yeah the location you're suggesting would be similar to how it is in Chrome, where all extension icons are automatically located at the right hand side of the location bar, as there's no status bar there anyway. The location there in Chrome like in Firefox is customizable so that's fine.

ps: now that you mentioned it I think I read that on Mozillazine, that the status bar would be ditched...
