Maybe I missed one hidden feature, but to my knowledge there's currently no way of getting the URL of the current page other than copying it from the address bar.
This is annoying in a situation where you are on a page that opened with the adress bar "hidden" (strangely, at least in OSX, choosing from the menu View>Toolbars>Navigation Toolbar has no offect on the current window. One of the rare moments when I miss the old IE5, where there was even a keyboard-shortcut for this). I agree this is a rare situation, but it's annoying.
IMO there should be a ctrl-click option "Copy Current Page Location".
The simplest way for now is to select "Send Link", and then copy the URL, but this is unpractical if your email client isn't open.
Another plausible option would be to select "View Page Info", which displays the URL, and you can even select it.... but you CAN'T COPY IT! This seems profoundly unlogical.
Small annoyances, but this could make firefox more perfect...
