I’m hoping to find out if there is any setting or option in the Firefox for iOS app that would toggle permanent display of the current website URL instead the address bar.
Noticed while doing a google search: after searching, the address bar truncates the displayed URL to just “google.com,” which is very useless in itself - tapping the address bar, however, fills it with the terms of my search. There is no way to view the full URL from here; you have to long press the address bar, after which you need to tap “Copy URL,” then paste it somewhere else, like a Notes app, to view the actual URL that was copied.
Am I missing anything, or is that the current most efficient way? If it is, why? It seems counterintuitive to obfuscate URLs like this.
I will clarify that so far I’ve only seen this while searching with Google. On other sites, the URL is still shortened severely to show just the domain (still a very inconvenient design choice that cannot be disabled, though), but at least there IS one being displayed at all.
Has this issue been brought up before? It seems like a relatively new change, and one that hasn’t benefited users, so I’m curious if there is some kind of workaround I couldn’t find.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
