Description

[Hanspeter Roth]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; NetBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050528 Firefox/1.0.4

Firefox is not alwasy the only application on the screen. Sometimes it has to
share the screen with another application.
The Go-button and the Google-field occupy precious space on the Navigation
toolbar. They make the Address-dropdownbox narrower. This often makes a
selection of similar addresses ununique.
For people that don't need the Go-button and the Google-field they sould be able
to be hidden.
For example the popup-menu upon a rightclick should offer an option to hide them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. size Firefox to occupy half of the width of the screen
2. ctl-l
3. sourceforge.net/projects

Actual Results:  
The with of the Address dropdown-box is too small making similar addresses
appear ununiq.

Expected Results:  
The Go-button and the Google-field should be hidable giving their space to the
Address dropdown-box. They should offer an option to hide them in their popup-menu.

Right click the toolbar and choose customise then drag the items off the toolbar.
