I find it weird to even think of a bookmark bar anymore. At least in FF, the URL bar does such a good job searching history/bookmarks that I have no use for it, and I thought chrome was now in a similar position?
I find Chrome's omnibox better than the address bar in FF, as it autocompletes. I suppose I could press cmd-L to jump to the box and type a few letters, but the web is so optimized for the mouse that I usually have my finger on the trackpad anyway.

Firefox has been experimenting with autocompletion, it might make it into a future version. https://mozillalabs.com/prospector/2010/10/27/navigate-the-w... You can install the first-party addon without even restarting your browser. There are other experiments in the "Lab Kit" https://mozillalabs.com/blog/2010/11/its-time-to-get-your-la...
My only usage for a bookmark bar is for javascript bookmarks such as readability and HackemUp
These are 'bookmarklets' and can be accessed through the normal bookmarks window (or bookmarks pane) as well.
