Here are a couple of links about doing some of that... but it looks like it will hide it in normal screen mode ... ... or, wait to see if the real smart coders around here are finished with their Easter eggs :lol:

Hi,
Just take your time with it.
You have to create a userChrome.css in the chrome folder in your Profile. (This is not there by default & note the capital C in userChrome.css.)
From the link, ref; >
Add the following code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace............ line:
Code to add > #statusbar-display { display:none!important; }

This should hide the status-bar popup even though I wouldn't recommend doing so.
Here's the KB article...

Hi,
If you carefully read the KB article, you will see that the reference to chrome is NOT to the Chrome browser.
It refers to a folder in your Firefox Profile folder.
eg; > C:\Users\YOURNAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8xcharacters.Firefox_V50.0\chrome
Not sure if WIN 10 is the same as WIN 7.

As I mentioned....just take your time.
