When hovering over a link, the link destination does not show up in the status bar.

For what it's worth -- I'm also using Firefox 2.0.0.4 and the link destination shows up fine on my browser's status bar when I hover over a link. I'm on a Win XP machine.

I wonder if hiding then unhiding your status bar will help "jump start" it. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm at a loss.

Check your Java settings in Firefox. You can find this in the Extra menu under Options.

I think that THiC is correct, my java console, I think is the root of the problem.

I installed it, but the problem still exists.

Fixed it myself. Thanks for all the help though guys!

Turns out that the FF 1.5x theme stops it from being shown.

Nice to hear you got it sorted out =]

Excellent! :-)
