|One of the design principles/goals for the original Firefox was to maximize the amount of space available for web content. I think that is a very good goal to have as it makes you think about what is really necessary to have on the screen all the time. So one option to consider is to have the "cannot be hidden" items, be available through e.g. a transparent icon (perhaps an embossed Firefox icon as TV channels use) that when tapped will bring up these "cannot be hidden" items. /Christian
|Another way to pull the title and toolbar back into view would be to scroll to the top of the page, then, once you have reached the top of the page, keep scrolling, which brings you to the title and tool bar. To keep people from accidentally bringing up the title and toolbar, there would be a distinctive "click" sound when you reached the top of the page and couldn't scroll up it any farther. Then you would just scroll up a little more, and the title and toolbar would appear. It would be intuitive.

|Many smartphones (incl all Windows Mobile 5+ devices) only have 2 smart buttons at the bottom. It would be logical to offer just two options in the bottom button bar. And map zooming to a tap-drag button on the top bar or the scroll wheel/updown buttons on some devices. Or at least visually highlight the button that is bound to the smart buttons.
