The Fission add-on for Firefox combines the address bar with the progress meter to create a nice visual effect.

As pages load their progress is displayed in a user-defined color in your address bar rather than the status bar.

The Fission options menu lets you choose your desired color as well as other settings:

• Loading an image as the page is rendered
• Showing the standard progress meter in the address bar
• Displaying the current connection status in the address bar
• Displaying the address of the currently selected link in the address bar

This add-on is great because it frees up space in your status bar and looks awesome. Get it here. (I am told the Safari web browser for Mac does the same thing.)

In case you like this add-on, the next few I have to share will actually be tips on how to get the most out of your browsing space.
