This bug is separated out from bug 279099. The font in the status and location
bars makes it hard to see exactly which characters are in the domain name.
Since we don't want our users to be spoofed by characters that look similar
to others (e.g. letter l and digit 1 but not capital I in domain names, since
it's capital), we should use a clearer font.

If a non-sans-serif font would make the URIs too wide, how about using a good
font for the domain name part only?

Mass edit: Setting correct QA for location bar/autocomplete. My bad. I forgot I had once been Autocomplete QA too. Hmm, why can't I just set the QA of bugs to the default QA of the component in a mass edit rather than having to do it manually...?
