404743 - Menu bar remains in all cases when window.open is used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 397873

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[ReleaseEngineer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Firefox 3.0 beta 1

When our application opens a new window with no toolbars, I see a new IE 7.0 like address bar. That is fine but along with that bar the menu bar remains at the top. And turning off the toolbars from the view doesnt let it go. Also, our customers are generally businesses and there is no way to turn that new addressbar. There must be an option to turn it on/off from the preferences dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the URL given above
2.Press "Start Here" button
3.
Actual Results:  
The menubar remains on top of new disabled addressbar. Plus, there is no option to turn on/off that new disabled addressbar.

Expected Results:  
By default, a new window with no toolbars should open with that new security address bar. Menubar should not be there, even if I turn off all toolbars or press F11. In the options dialog, we could not spot an option to turn on/off the new disabled addressbar.

Personally, I am aware of the phising phenomenan and I would like to disable that new disabled addressbar. IE 7.0 has an option to turn it off. Firefox 3.0 should also give users an option to turn it off. Making it staticly live there will make me use IE.

Making the address bar visible in all pop-up windows is intentional to prevent spoofing. If you really want this, it can be disabled in about:config by setting dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to false. See bug 258722 and bug 22183 for the discussion about this.

The menubar in pop-up windows is bug 397873 and should be fixed in current nightly builds.
