Given that Firefox slowly adds all the things we hate about Chrome due to the argument "we need to compete for normal users", how much do you want to bet Firefox will hide the URL in a few months (and even remove the setting that lets you change it)? :(
- amanzi 6y agoFirefox is already doing this! I recently had to dive into the about:config to find a setting that was hiding part of the URL. Although I can no longer find the setting that I configured so perhaps this has been changed in a recent update? Edit - found it: the setting "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" hides the "http://" http://" protocol if it's used. I do a lot of local development and found it annoying that Firefox was hiding it.
- JBiserkov 6y agoThanks for this! Turned it off. I guess I haven't noticed because my focus was always attracted to the padlock with a red line through it in front of the URL.
