he probably means the Firefox address bar;
(b and v are near each other on a keyboard -- likely typo;
and they also are near each other in some speech
space of consonants - that a linguistic expert, or

The Firefox address bar is where you end up when
you do a File / "Open Location" (or Ctrl-L) in FireFox.
