I use the "Active Stop Button" Extension, so it didn't work for me. But I like the idea, wish it can be incorporated into that function too. *****

good idea but ... i use small icons and this mod causes the toolbar to increase in size vertically when the throbber is active ... as this happens with every new page, the toolbar is in a constant state of expansion/contraction and i find it very distracting.

update: thanks for adding throbber graphics to the code ... completely solved the problem ... i also use it with stop/reload ... great! *****

I use the stop/reload combo script, and have now incorporated this as well. It works great! I used to remove the throbber altogether; however combined with stop/reload (& small icons) and this script, it's a terrific functional space saver. Despite using toolbar height reducing, this does not make anything "swell" on my screen; it's just effectively created a "3 function single button!" Super job Lou, especially for those who don't want status bar! *****
