On your site, I see the https:// but on other sites, it's gone, just shows domain name. I want to see it all the time.

Hiding of the http: part in Firefox 7

The protocol (http://) has been removed from the URL in the location bar for http:// pages only. https:// pages will still have the protocol.

Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false in about:config.


To change this 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.trimURLs
in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false
