I can confirm that the docs are incorrect. window.locationbar.visible is true 
for me in the Web runtime as well. 

I think you have to combine a couple checks. In the Marketplace app we check 
locationbar but also check the user agent and viewport to tell if it's on a 
Firefox OS device. E.G. 
https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/media/js/mkt/capabilities.js#L64 
There might be a better way to do it.
