I tried this, and even restarted the computer. Still doesn’t work. How can I ensure that the location bar remains on the Firefox homepage in Vista? Thanks.

That sucks. As a web designer I have good reason to want to hide this annoying URL. Why do the 99% of valid website creators always get screwed over because of the <1% troublemakers?

open ur firfox and type about:config in ur location or addressbar. Change dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to false. now try to access ur page say http://national.com.au then click “Go” in the top right hand corner which brings up a popup to log in to internet banking. Now see the difference there is no location box in the popup window

I’ve downloaded the latest version and the dom.disable_window_open_feature.location parameter is by default on “true”. Is this normal? cause im trying to remove it from a page on my website, thx.

Note: Havvy isn’t my last name.

Anyways, that function should be turned by default, no? I do know that Internet Explorer also lets that address bar being seen. So, a rare 1-UP over Mozilla from Microsoft.

Great find none-the-less.

Additionally, could you add the following line to your css please?

img.wp-smiley {padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}

It’ll make smileys look far better ;)

Ah, it seems that because I’ve moved the location bar to the menubar (alongside File, Edit, etc.) that I need to toggle dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar too - thanks for the tip! :)

Cameron it works for me: http://www.mozillalinks.org/images/locbarblocktest.png

I didn’t need to restart, but guess it wouldn’t hurt you try.

Have you got a webpage where I can test it out? It doesn’t seem to work on my bank’s website - http://national.com.au - then click “Go” in the top right hand corner which brings up a popup to log in to internet banking.
