Details

A popup window opened by window.open call has read-only address bar.
According to bug 1657738 comment #12, we could make it writable.

Testcase:
data:text/html,<input type="button" onclick="window.open('data:text/plain,', '', 'width=500')" value="click me">

Another possibility is to allow dynamically switching between popup and normal window, that allows users to access tab and toolbar if they want, while providing maximum space at the beginning by hiding those UI parts.
