Firefox 4: How to get rid of text in bottom right corner?

So I installed Firefox 4 to my computer a few days ago, and have been enjoying the new browser greatly. There's only one thing that bothers me: Whenever I hover my mouse over a link, or when a page is loading, this tiny white box with a URL, or a status of what the computer is doing, pops up, and then disappears once the page loads or I move the mouse off the link.

I've looked all around the menus, though I might have missed something, since I'm not totally used to them yet. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Update:

My apologies, the text is in the bottom left right corner of the screen, not the bottom right.

Update 2:

Okay, failure in communication yet again. It's in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, and that's final.

    That's the status bar. Get the Status-4-Evar add-on to turn it off.

    That's the URL the link points to. Seeing it is a good way to know where the link REALLY goes in case you need it. If you're familiar with Firefox 3.x, that version put the URL on the left of the Status Bar (which has morphed into an Add-On toolbar).

    I don't think there's any way to hide it.

    Sorry.

    Edit: I stand corrected by the first answer.
