I’m opening a window using window.open and setting location parameter to no. In IE9 the location/addressbar doesn’t show, however in Firefox it is still shown. Why does Firefox still show location bar even when I say ‘location=no’?
It’s up to the useragent to determine which functionality to support. It seems (and rightfully so) that firefox deemed it a security problem to disable address bar. There is likely an about:config to turn it on, but I definitely wouldn’t count on the “hiding address bar” functionality to be cross browser.
EDIT: actually in your linked article:
dom.disable_window_open_feature.locationdefaults to true in firefox 3 (search under “location” section)
