Fixing the Firefox 7 and 8 missing http://

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/11/08/fixing-the-firefox-missing-http/

Instead of http://www.example.com, Firefox 7 will be displaying www.example.com, since September 2011. The purpose is to highlight the current browser location in a much more meaningful way and drop the protocol prefix, which has been confusing especially to users that are new or not familiar with the Internet. Firefox also greys out the "www" or subdomain of a URL, as well as the resource ID and deletes any trailing single slashes in a web address.

When you copy the URL from the address bar and paste it to another window, Firefox is supposed to add the http:// back when copy/paste work is done.. However, it doesn’t always work, hence you may easily make a link in a blog post the http:// which prompted a slew of “dead link” complaints.

This “feature” is annoying, so you may wish to solve it by

1. Type about:config in Location (address) bar, press Enter
2. Filter for browser.urlbar.trimURLs (or scroll until you find it)
3. Right-click or double-left-click on that phrase and toggle it to false
