That was another of the possible solutions I provided Peter, but he preferred this one.

This will then show an empty address bar with the protocols list on the far left.  Any navigation-related actions (going back, going forward, going to a place, going to a folder, selecting a protocol) will reset it to the normal mode.  You can also get your previous location back by clicking the far right of the address bar to go back into editable mode (which will restore the current location to the address bar) then going back to breadcrumb mode.
