|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

|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.
Another option would be to have a history context menu and a zoom context menu. The smartnutton would activate the respective option. The D-pad or a tap+drag would then result in the requested action.
Not that I don't like the easy accessibility this design offers, it just doesn't match any of the UI design principles used by the hardware vendors atm. /JesseHouwing
