If possible, show the original URL when in Reader Mode. See if urlbar bindings can be implemented.

If possible, add a setter to urlbar.onBeforeValueSet without replacing the existing one.

After looking at this, it might be possible to just hide the about:reader URL in the location bar. Hoping to achieve the exact same level of integration as Firefox (e.g. mail integration), however, would be impractical if not impossible without breaking things internal to the browser.

Instead of trying to do this, it might be easier to just provide a means to copy the original URL without having to close Reader View.

Closing this issue as WONTFIX for now. Rather than possibly breaking things or causing confusion over how the URL is displayed or used, it should be easy enough to obtain the original URL by using the original article's link at the top of the page or by exiting Reader Mode.
