I see hiding the URL as a big step backwards.

We're on the edge of a "Web 3.0" revolution where people use URIs as global unique identifiers for concepts. It makes sense that Google hides URIs because they're threatened by the semantic web (by increasing the amount of meaning/byte, the kind of 'big data' analysis that Google does will be possible for smaller startups and eventually desktop users.) Firefox doesn't have a reason to hold back the future though...
