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.
