Tap the solid blue bookmarks icon to the left of the URL field and the favorites window will go away. It should go away on its own, but it's an annoying bug that is present when the iPad is in landscape mode.

18 months later I had same question and the answer is right on. Thanks. You would think Apple would fix some of the things that everyone knows are dysfunctional.
