Anybody recognize extension for this image on status bar:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9734/ffwhodattj0.jpg

I can't associate the image on my Status Bar that appears as
a Magnifier with 100% to an extension. Seems I have it
on Fx 2 and Fx3.
There is no tool tip. Right-click does nothing, Click does nothing.
Double-click causes toolbars, and status bar to disappear but
does not go to full screen. The only way I know of to restore
is to restart Firefox.

Hi,

Is it still there if you start in safe mode?

Theme problem, or something left over from an old extension that you
used to have?

Looking at zoom related extensions, but I see non with that icon. Did
not install any to make sure.

Just some suggestions, whilst you wait for some further answers:

Have you tried using the DOM inspector, it may list the ID matching the
extension.

Or try the following extension:

"Organize Status Bar 0.6.2"
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1759

It will also list what is displayed, along with its name.

Can't think off anything else just now.

Thanks, That was a lot easier than working through each extension.
I like the Dom Inspector answer but it's user remains a mystery to me.

It was "Mouse Zoom" extension one of my favorites, I guess
I can keep it, if I hide it with "Organize Status Bar" it has
a middle-click option and that is an absolute No-No for me, but if I
hide the icon it shouldn't present a problem. I use "AutoHide"
extension to handle choices of what to hide with use of F11.

OSB also made visible status bar button with the no entry circle
while options are displayed, never seen that button before.

I know I tested with Mouse Zoom disabled but it was still
on status bar, so probably looked at a different FF version
than I disabled it in though I have them all looking different.

From OSB I found out what I can hide on the status bar, and
can do that through Stylish without having to keep OSB enabled.
I don't actually have measureit installed anymore, but the rest gave
me some breathing room as well as fixing problem with Mouse Zoom
wish I could make the "McAfee Site Advisor" button 1/6 of the width
all I need is the color and drop down.

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* modified from
hide measureit statusbar icon | userstyles.org
http://userstyles.org/styles/8097
found additional button names using

and won't have to keep the extension enabled to do this */

#measureit_statusbar_panel,
#mousezoom-status,
#stylish-panel {
display: none !important; }

I had the same problem with MouseZoom. Double clicking on the icon
causes all the toolbars to go away (except TabMixPlus tabs). Turns out
this is a feature of MouseZoom. Holding right click and clicking with
the wheel brings the toolbars back (it's a show/hide toggle). Mystery
solved.
