How do I get rid of the hightlighting of part of the url?
Part of the address (mozilla.com from https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d4 etc) is highlighted. Why? It feels like riding a bike with safety wheels. This "feature" needs to become optional. I want to see the whole adress all in the same print. One of the reasons I stopped using Opera is because of their partial obfuscation of the url, please don't go the same road.

That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
Change a preference:
- type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
- if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
- Filter: browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
- in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false
I am not sure whether or not you need to re-start Firefox after doing the above for the change to take effect. Test and if it does not work, then re-start Firefox and test again.

You need to update some plug-ins:

No need for restart, just set browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false.
Thanks a lot. I update the plug-ins too. Glad to no longer see blogspot.com highlighted in every blog I visit. I hope it will no longer be a default setting in the next release.
You're welcome. Thanks for the re-start clarification.
That seems to be the default in current development versions. You can submit feedback, Help > Submit Feedback.
