It may not be allowed any more, due to abuse and due to the fact that it annoys many users. You could ask your visitors to change the settings at the URL about:config to

dom.disable_window_status_change .. user set .. boolean .. false

if you have something just absolutely critical that you need to change the status for.

But like me, I suspect that many don't want their status bar changed, since it's been so abused by phishers.

Other than that, I'd suggest you find a better way to display the information you want to show.
