firefox also removes 'www' and 'https' in drop-down search results from the address bar[0]. it's a subtle change, but worth knowing. 'http' urls remain in long form apparently (haven't installed yet to check it out). edit: min(), max(), and clamp() for css looks useful too. edit 2: honoring 'nosniff' on mime types on page load is neat too [1] [0] https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/28/firefox-75-address-bar-results/ https://www.ghacks.net/2020/02/28/firefox-75-address-bar-res...

Fenix is also now stripping https:// https:// and https://www https://www. from the address bar, which I strongly approve of as it has none of the downsides that doing that would have on desktop (OK, OK, so www. stripping can be theoretically significant), and I have a not-huge device so that that was taking up around half of the space allotted to text. Now if only I could do away with the padlock (only show it when it’s problematic, not all the time) and shrink the remaining badge much smaller. And/or if you could scroll the text horizontally like you could in Firefox for Android.

  I wouldn't have a problem with it, if not for my experience with Chrome letting you copy addresses out of the address bar without the https://www https://www. I don't think it's supposed to happen, it doesn't happen every time, but I've had it happen. This is obnoxious because when I then paste that link into something else, like an email, IRC or HN comment, it generally won't get automatically 'linkified.'

  Except in Chrome, say I’m on https://www.google.com/chrome/ https://www.google.com/chrome/, which is shown as google.com/chrome/. Now for one reason or another I want to copy only part of the address, say only the domain name. So I grab “google.com” with my mouse and command+c to copy it. Congratulations, I just copied https://www.google.com https://www.google.com, although I explicitly selected only the “google.com” part. I can understand the behavior if I was copying the entire URL. Now, I’m not sure how this is handled in the mobile Firefox Preview, but thankfully on desktop they only dim https://[www.] https://[www.]. (Btw, it seems a sibling somehow has the exact opposite gripe.)

    > it seems a sibling somehow has the exact opposite gripe If you don't have two users complaining about the exact same issue but in opposite directions, your feedback channels aren't working. ;)
