Although, have a look at twitterbar. The add-on uses the address bar pretty extensively. I haven't looked at the FireFox API but yeah I doubt if it's possible to control the address bar in that way.

I installed add-on and it's cool and all but I doubt I'll ever use it - the bookmark tool seems far more easier. A suggestion would be to change the functionality where when the toolbar icon is clicked it converts the current long url to a TimesURL in the address bar, without any popups, explanations or whatever. Not too sure how possible that is, but it would flippen sweet if it was. Hey Justin. I installed add-on and it's cool and all but I doubt I'll ever use it – the bookmark tool seems far more easier.
