Hiding address bar in all browsers [duplicate]

This is no longer possible in modern browsers due to security restrictions.

Official(-ish) Sources:

  • Firefox

    In Firefox 3, dom.disable_window_open_feature.location now defaults to true, forcing the presence of the Location Bar much like in IE7. See bug 337344 for more information.

  • Internet Explorer 7 and later

    In Internet Explorer 6, location specifies whether to display the Address Bar.

    (Implying the behaviour ends with IE6)

  • Chrome/Chromium

    Those toolbar hiding parameters are ignored in Chrome.
    You will also notice that modern browsers are moving towards not hiding it as security / anti phishing measures.
