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:

  1. type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
  2. if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
  3. Filter: browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
  4. in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false
