You can also use the 'one window' browsing to see the address bar. Just go to about:config and toggle the setting for
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs
to true. Then open up the Preferences dialog from Edit->Preferences and go to Advanced, select Tabbed Browsing, and choose to 'Force links that open new windows to open in' a new tab or the current tab.
