This would allow the user to see how much of their page has loaded (the spinning icon on corner of the tab/top corner of the window does not indicate the percentage of the page that has loaded). Reproducible: Always
This is likely to be WONTFIXED, considering bug 167418. You can still get the feature, though, by installing e.g. the Fission extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1951>.
Shouldn't this depend on bug 167418?
