Reverse domain name notation in omnibox / urlbar
I would be interested in modifying the behavior of Firefox's urlbar / omnibox such that domain names are displayed in “reverse notation”, e.g. org.mozilla.support instead of support.mozilla.org.
From a cursory look at Firefox's setting, I couldn't find any browser.urlbar.* setting that relates to reverse domain name notation.
I also spent some time looking at add-on development documentation. Albeit being unfamiliar with the technology, it seems to me that the omnibox permission in the manifest.json file will only grant the add-on APIs to extend the functionalities of the bar, rather than allow the add-on to modify how the bar's contents are displayed.
I would be interested to know if there might be a way to achieve reverse domain name notation that I might have missed, or whether this is impossible to do.
If this is the wrong place to ask, I'd be glad if you could suggest what forum/mailing list may be appropriate for this kind of questions.

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
Thank you for your answer and time, Paul.
The feature I am describing would very likely be extremely niche. I would not expect Mozilla to be interested in implementing such a setting if it doesn't exist yet, hence my question and focus on add-ons.
I might take a minute to open a ticket at Mozilla Connect, that probably can't hurt!
