I, for one, am absolutely fine with this. I have updated FF recently and didn't even notice any changes, had to look up what had changed after stumbling on this comment. I interact with address bar a lot, copy-pasting parts of URL all the time. As long as they don't by default hide https:// https:// and parts of URL from the address bar itself in Safari/Chrome style , I'm ok with it not shown in suggestions. (I have a big 24" screen though, maybe that affects somehow).

I don't believe for a single second you haven't noticed the new url bar animation.

  What animation???

    I assume the GP is talking about the search bar becoming slightly bigger on focus.

  I’ve been using Nightly for a long time and I have no idea what this is about.

    I still legitimately don't see what people are describing about the address bar. I haven't noticed a change the entire time I've used Firefox (about year). Could someone post a before-and-after screenshot or something? (I've been using Firefox Developer Edition too if that makes a difference?)

        Yeah, my nightly build just got it. I hate it. I hate the new tab style too. And they got rid of dark mode?

  It’s really not bad. It is a change. You might consider keeping it enabled for a couple of weeks and see if you still hate it so much after the new wears off.

  I barely noticed it even after reading HNers whine about it. They said it covered other UI components. In reality it grows a few pixels. I wouldn't have noticed it had I not read HN, that's for sure.

Not only do they by default hide that, they've also removed the preference to show it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1627988 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1627988

  That's a temporary entry so, of course, it would be removed eventually.

  Is that only in Nightly? My Firefox 75 shows the https and the full URL, and I havent changed any about:config settings.

    My Nightly 77 shows the full URL and https and I also haven't changed about:config settings.

  I don't know what you're talking about. Here's what I see [1], I actually like highlighting on main domain. If they'll remove https:// https:// from my URL box, I'll grab a pitchfork myself, but for now I see no signs of it happening. [1]: https://tinyurl.com/umluadw https://tinyurl.com/umluadw

    The patch was pushed 18 hours ago: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5b1cfd31cdb7 https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5b1cfd31cdb7

      That patch seems to remove the option of striping the http(s) from the url bar. That is, you always get the http(s) and there's no option not to view that anymore. Am I missing something?
