Hello,

I am encountering a regression in Firefox. In many cases, now, the page is loading, but there is no throbber in my Firefox window, so I cannot see whether the page is loading. It is useful to see quickly whether the page is loading, and in past versions of Firefox it was easy : I just looked quickly at the top right, always at the same place, and when the page was loading there was the throbber throbbing.

Please put back the throbber, at least when the page is loading, and always at the same place. Like this, for instance :

Thanks.

Nicolas

Right click in the grey Area next to a tab and select customize or (alt key)/view/toolbars/customize and drag&drop the "activity indicator" at a place that you like.

That is what you want, right ?

Yep ! Thank you, Matthias.

But wouldn't it make sense to have it by default, like in past versions ?

This is the UI and I don't discuss about UI changes. The UI designers make the decisions and unless there are really good reasons such a decisions will not reverted.
In this case you can always put it back and that should not be a problem.

I will go ahead and mark this wfm
