Not having any sort of URL defeats the purpose of having a history. There has to be (and already is) an in between. It's what Firefox 2 and every other browser has.

And according to my IRC conversation with someone on #firefox # irc.mozilla.org earlier, Firefox 3.1 will have the option of having. They even have the patches all ready. So why it's not in Firefox 3 is beyond me.

Yeah, which is why that setting is pretty much useless. Also, when setting that property to 0, it causes the screen to flicker intermittently when typing in the address bar (at least on Mac OS X Tiger).
