Re: [orca-list] Flat Review is a Mess in Firefox

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

ello,
About year and a half status bar has been removed from Firefox. Since 
that time there was a small bar at the top of its window where addons 
were putting their icons. In Firefox 29 as a part of so called project 
australis this has also been removed.
So I guess such an icon is not there and access through the tools menu, 
through the context menu and keyboard shortcuts is what has left I think.

Greetings

Peter
