It’s been a while, but last week I started working on the asynchronous location bar patch again. The add-on from past posts will not be updated as there are binary changes that need to be made. I do, however, have some test builds that you can try out. These are built of off mozilla-central, so it’s like using a 3.6 nightly. That means it may not be stable, and you shouldn’t use this with your default profile (but feel free to copy your places.sqlite file into a new one to really hammer on it). If you are interested in trying it out, the builds can be found here.
Your feedback is appreciated!

I’ve been using it with my default profile for the past day and haven’t found a problem. Autocomplete also seems more responsive, but that might be imaginary.
