I like Firefox Mobile. I'm using it on my Samsung Infuse 4g. I really wish the browser url area would auto-scroll itself away upon calling up a webpg/website, or when refreshing a webpg. other browsers seem to do this, depending on the javascript being written in the code, yet Firefox mobile doesn't recognize the script. please make this work, firefox guys. I'd appreciate a tad more window realistate on my phone when using your mobile web browser. Thank you!

It is on our list of things do bring back, though I don't have a timeframe for its inclusion.

It makes the writing the program a bit more complicated as you need to keep track of the address bar state (on/off) and make a number of decisions about when to show it (only when at the very top of the page? whenever the user interacts with the page? some other behavior?). There are also touch enabled sites, Google maps for example. Getting the touches correct for such sites is somewhat difficult when showing or hiding the address bar.
