That little bar with the url is actually both a safety measure as well as a useful feature.
By listing the domain that the popup is located at, it makes it impossible or at least harder for sites, spyware, or whatever to send you to fake pages and hiding the address bar so that you don't notice. Secondly, it also acts as a button that you can click; doing so will bring up the address bar for that window. This gives you the best of both worlds - you can allow JavaScript to open popup windows without the address bar so that you don't have it on all those smaller windows that look better without it, yet at the same time it allows you to easily activate the address bar if you need or want it.
