I want to remove the emphasis "feature" in the address bar so I can see the entire address with the same boldness, like it was before. How?

I really cannot stand the new feature in Firefox 6 that places emphasis on the main address in the address bar making it difficult to see the entire address. I want to see the entire address. How do I change it?

You can set the pref browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
