i don't know but my opinion is that
there is too much space in location bar. It look like addreses in it hang in
nowhere.
and there is too much space from begging of white field of location bar to URL
itself.
if site doesn't have icon there are big unused space or icon for document,
but still with big space around icon and big space to URL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start mozill 
2.type URL in location bar
3.

Actual Results:  
too big space from begging of location bar to URL
too big space from bottom and top.

Expected Results:  
spacees in URL maybe must be flexible.
So writing url to start from beginnig.
Space from top to URL to be smallest and from bottom to URL too.
Is your bug report about Mozilla (Mozilla Suite: Navigator) or Mozilla Firefox?
Please change the Product to Firefox if it is for the latter.
i think that both have same problem, i report it from firefox because I use it
most. But i use mozilla too.
Can you please attach a screenshot of Mozilla's urlbar, displaying the problem
First is IE
second Firfox
Mozilla Classic
Mozilla Modern
As you see ie have small space from icon to URL and small spaces from bottom
and tom to string of url. 
I have one more theme for firefox and for mozilla but defaults show the same.

sorry for spam ..
this is not a problem this is a uglyness!!!
By how many pixels is Mozilla giving too much space? 2px? 4px? And by how many
pixels is Mozilla giving too much space between the url icon and the url?

What if you increase [or want to] the font-size in use in the location bar to
improve readability? I believe you can increase it up to 16px.

In your userChrome.css file, say:

#urlbar {
font-size: 14px !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
}
try changing in moz prefs appearance from pictures only to text only
counting pixels, the MSIE urlbar has 5 pixels of white space above the "b" in
about:blank, and 4 below, before the frame of the urlbar begins.
Mozilla modern theme has exactly the same.

I suggest resolving this "bug" as invalid.
i have plan to report this like bug since 2000 but i hope that many people
thinks like me and someone else will report this.
Now as i understand maybe only I think like this. 
Whatever maybe my i have different view of that how this must looks.

Comparing count of pixels of ie and mozilla don't count because they interpreted
them differently i think.
And as far as i can see space between icon and text in mozilla is enought to put
one symbol there but not in ie. I have made experiment with this and i am right.
Marking invalid whon't make mozilla better:)
it look like i am right.
address bar with select field .
I really don't understand what you are complaining about. The urlbar content
text is the same size on both, and the height of the urlbar text container
seems identical as well. Certainly the Moz viewport can be made larger than IE
due to Moz's shorter combined menu and toolbar box height.

i am starting to think: why i really complain about ti .. maybe everybody likes
it like this.
if most of the people can't see what i am talking about whatever mark this bug
as invalid. Who cares!:)

Well, pixels are units of screen resolution.

20 lowercase "ij" (or "il") characters side by side will take less space than 20
uppercase "XZ" side by side. So number of characters can be tricky. Sans-serif
characters use less space than serif characters.

Did you try to modify the font-size of the font used in the location bar?
Apparently, you can in Mozilla with the instruction I gave you in comment #6;
personally, I have not tried that.

I agree with Felix and RKAa comments.
