No "Go To ..." in newest FireFox status bar?

Breaks tracking script?

[ari11210]

Hello all,
I am using the newest version of Mozilla FireFox (1.0 PR) and when looking at the adsense ads on my pages, it seems that the 'Go To...' message is not appearing in the status bar of the browser as it does in all other browsers when pointing to an ad. This is alarming since the Adsense tracking script that most of us use is dependant on that message. Does anyone know anything about this? Will the script no longer track these clicks from FireFox?

Thanks for your help
Aaron

I bet the culprit is here:

Tools ¦ Options ¦ Web Features ¦ Advanced Javascript

Check "Change status bar text"

Thanks, that was it. Do you know what the default setting is for this? and do you know if this will affect the tracking script if turned off?

Thanks
Aaron

The pref is: dom.disable_window_status_change, and its default is true (don't allow setting of the status bar text). It seems to only pretend to change the status bar text, so JS tracking scripts should work fine.
