Is it now possible to scroll away the address bar like the mobile versions of chrome, the native android browser and opera can do? Or to otherwise hide it?
When I last tried the mobile version of firefox, I could not find any way to get rid of the address bar and to have it on a screen that already feels to small for web navigation is simply too bad. At that time, I switched to opera. If it is now possible to make good use of the available screen estate, a second try would be nice, though.

By default, no. The address/tab bar is always visible.
However, there's an add-on that adds a 'full screen' mode which hides it. It's harder to get back to than just scrolling to the top, but if you don't switch tabs often it works well.

With firefox on my galaxy nexus, the address bar disappears as soon as you scroll down at all. I have no add-ons installed.

...oh, apparently it had gotten stuck on an old version at some point. Yeah, after updating the bar becomes stuck. Definitely a bit annoying.
