Firefox 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.
