When the soft home button is enabled, the bottom of the browser that contains the back and favorite buttons isn't visible.

Isn't the soft home button going to be removed and replaced with a gesture?

This is probably caused by a media query hack that we use to hide the bottom bar when the keyboard is open. As far as I know we still don't have any other way to know this.

Yes.
BTW, the gesture implementation still has a tiny bar at bottom. I'll check with the folk implements this.

Also this issue is not repro-ed on firefox nightly but only on real device. I don't know why.

It's because Firefox reports a different device height. You'll probably also notice the bottom bar is still displayed when the keyboard is open.

I'm aware of this but what's strange is "only" homescreen app and browser app isn't resized correctly..
