When opening a new window with javascript and the adressbar should be hidden, firefox 3 (as IE 7) shows a small adressbar anyway. While this might be fine regarding security I would be able to disable that feature at least in the extended JavaScript settings.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks. But this is for geeks (like you and me) only. But not for the average user.

Yes. And for defining missing features. That's why I set severity to "enhancement".
I did not ask for technical support. I asked for a setting in the extended JavaScript settings. That is the options dialog where similar settings can be made (like hiding the statusbar or the contextmenu). I don't see a reason why exactly that setting should not be there.

I don't understand why this is invalid.
