User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

I switch off all bars besides tabbar to increase display area (fullscreen mode is not suitable).
Ctrl+L hotkeys rises "Open URL" window, on all pages of a web site address area of this window has constant address of domain, not current page. So, it is difficult to see current url to understand your location on site, copy URL or correct it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hide toolbar with address field on it.
2. Stroke Ctrl+l to call window with address field, type in it some address and go to the site.
3. Surf to a link on this site.
4. Press Ctrl+l again to copy URL of current page. See short domain name in window, feel that it is not comfortble to not understand according URL your location on website.
Actual Results:  
Address field in "Open URL" windows always shows main domain name.

Expected Results:  
Shows URL of current page.

Firefox 3.6.x also has such defect.

Sorry, "toolbar" means "navigation bar".

i'm using ff 15b and this behavior is still present.
this seems to be a bug to me, i will start working on it.
it would be helpful if a developer can provide a starting point to me.

same problem here,
it seems ctr+L or alt+d (wich I prefer) uses general.open_location.last_url

is there a way to configure this to show current url?
