Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go

An anonymous reader writes with an editorial from ConceivableTech "Since Google's move to enable users to hide the URL bar, we have seen what could be the beginning of the end of one of the key features of the web browser. Mozilla has its own thoughts, but there is little doubt that Mozilla is reconsidering the purpose of the URL bar in future versions of its browsers. In a Mozilla Labs post today, David Regev suggests that the location bar should be replaced with a tool to support more than just one command."

the day chrome fixes it's theming colors, and print system I will switch back.

Seriously chrome is the only browser not to support page margins. So it is useless for printing out web forms.

As for theme's when a website requests a new window theme colors default to the original colors.

Two very simple things chrome does wrong.

now let me actually delete history on a regular basis and all will be good. I don't need 6 months of browser history saved.

Tree-style tabs is what is keeping me on FF. Tabs are nested on the left side of the screen like split file manager window. Tabs opened from another get nested. For whatever reason, there is no such add-on for Chrome and it kills me to have my tabs listed across the top. You can get so many more tabs running vertically than you can horizontally.
