I use Mozilla Firefox on Arch and while watching a video on Kissanime, the communication status box in the down left corner stays on the screen and it doesn't disappear. Is there any way to disable it completely?

Chosen solution

To do this, you need to add the following code in a userChrome.css file:

#statuspanel[type="status"] {
     display: none !important;
}

That will hide only the status information (connecting, waiting, transferring, etc), but will still show you the destination if you hover over a link.

If you want to hide the status bar completely, you could use this code instead:

#statuspanel {
     display: none !important;
}

Hope this helps.

You can also hide this panel via an opacity:0; rule. Code in userChrome.css (use either of the two rules):

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#statuspanel:not([type="overLink"]) {opacity: 0 !important;}
#statuspanel {opacity: 0 !important;}
