Actually, this is exactly what the browser does if the completion list cannot be show below the url field. Try making your browser window very small by pulling its top to the bottom, so that the url field is at the bottom of the screen. You can also simply move the whole browser window down, so the url field is at the bottom of the screen and the rest of the browser window is outside of the screen if your window manager allows it. If you start typing an url with this setup then the completion popup is shown above the url field, instead of below it. (Tested on Windows with Firefox.)
