Can you reproduce with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

Address bar not shown on tab hover by cursor ((after installing LessChrome HD)

Install FF 7.0
Start with new empty profile
Install add-on LessChrome HD 7
Adress bar disappears (expected)
No address bar on tab hover --> Not expected.

Hi,
When I started FF with a new empty profile and installed the add-on, it worked. 
However, there were other issues with the add-on LessChrome HD 7. It does not work correctly. Should I raise a new bug for this or keep it in ?

Thanks and Regards,
Ravi

Hi Tim,
I have upgraded to the latest beta version and now the issue is not present. 
I have not made any changes in my addons, so I guess the browser upgrade fixed the issue. 
We may close this bug.

Ravi
