Subject: Feedback: Please Show Full URLs by Default and Disable “Show Search Terms in Address Bar” by Default

Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,

I would like to suggest two changes to Firefox’s default address bar behavior that would improve transparency, usability, and user trust.

1. Show Full URL Addresses by Default

  Currently, Firefox hides parts of the URL such as “https://” and sometimes simplifies the displayed address. I believe Firefox should display the complete URL at all times by default, including:

• Protocol (`https://`)
• Full subdomains (`www`, `m`, etc.)
• Complete path when relevant

Displaying the full address helps users:

• Better verify website authenticity
• Detect phishing or deceptive domains more easily
• Understand exactly where they are navigating
• Maintain consistency with technical and professional workflows

2. Disable “Show Search Terms in the Address Bar on Results Pages” by Default

  The feature that replaces the actual search engine URL with the search query text can be confusing and reduces transparency. Many users expect the address bar to show the real URL of the page they are visiting.

I recommend disabling this feature by default because:

• It hides useful navigational information
• It makes copying/searching URLs less predictable
• It can create ambiguity about the actual site/page being viewed
• Advanced and privacy-conscious users generally prefer seeing the real URL

Users who prefer the simplified search-term display could still enable it manually in settings.

Firefox has traditionally been a browser focused on user control, openness, and transparency. These changes would align well with those principles.

Thank you for your work on Firefox and for considering this feedback.

Hey there since a week when I brows with Firefox on Windows desktop the RAM uses jumped from around 60% spiked to 92-95% RAM and that changed just come a long a week ago. If change brows like Chrome different story, back down at 65. So you can also see a massive number on Firefox system running.

Question: Whats the reason for the change? What happend?

Best, Janosch

I have two desktop computers. both were fine. Now when I try to access a site i have gone to innumerable times it says "Blocked access". I can still get to the site on the other computer, but it is annoying to have to hop back & forth. I looked at the settings page, but I have no idea what I need to change to regain access.

I need to stop google from automatically searching in the address bar so I can use about.config.

No help has worked from the web. Commands suggested by users don't exist or they use circular logic. In other words I can't go to about.config and make changes because I can't get to about.config because google searches it. I have turned off everything and nothing gets rid of the google search. I can go to other searches but that doesn't help.

After moving home from college Firefox no longer works. I can open the browser, and it doesn’t crash, but websites will not load and I can’t search anything. The weather data says it is not available. I have tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall, reset, scanned for malware, reset DNS on my computer, cleared cache both on Firefox and on my pc. If I open up Chrome websites work fine. When I reset Firefox through the uninstall window, it works but if I close that and reopen it it is broken again. I am beyond frustrated and any guidance would be much appreciated.

Lately, on certain websites, like Fox News - I open a tab in a new link and it just spins.

Today, I just tried to register an account with a glass company, and I hit the button to register, and nothing happened.

Yesterday on a different site, I went to place an order, and everything grayed out and it just stayed like that.

What do I need to adjust in order for this to stop happening?

Thanks! Shari Blauner

I'm using a HTML file as a hypertext that catalogues a hard drive or folder. I want the file names to be clickable--to open the file, but but the file:/// href is blocked. What is the work around. All of this is local

FYI I was having issues signing onto my citizens online checking account and also signing onto my email account with comcast. After a while I disabled the NOSCRIPT extension which solved both issues. I believe this problem may have coincided with release 150.2

i've seen this before, in different older machines, but i can't remember the remedy. possibly a mouse-screen problem. it started with 150 i think...

Also in youtube, a gray layer covers the selections rendering mouse clicks impossible. clcking the logo, page reloads, but soon the layer covers most of the page. resetting graphics had no result.

thanks

i'm using mf 150

Since April 27th have been various situations where this msg occurs: Access Denied You don't have permission to access ht tp :// signin.ebay.com/logout/confirm?" on this server. Reference #18.17fc3117.1778464971.41591197 An error has occurred

Although the letters in the reference can be different.

1. Trying to open E-Bay with an icon presented in Firefox for E-Pay, or searching Google for 'E-Bay Login', in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome this msg occurs. 2. If I can sign on, when opening searchers from a folder the searches:

	A. Some searches have the words, and show items for sale, but the rest have the access denied msg where the search words should appear. 
Will send a pic when can sign on.

2. If E-Bay will open, sometimes all searches will load ALL with the search words visible in all tabs, but when click on a link for an item to sell, the access denied msg occurs. Sometimes a few searches will load with the name of the search in the tab, but other searches will load with the will load with the words access denied, and the mas when clicked. 3. Some website like Arkaim of some such issued this msg: Your IPv4 Address 104.187.9.142 received a bad risk score. 4. Left msg on Firefox about above, no response, left 2 msgs on E-Bay Technical Support, no response, Microsoft no help, Dell no help, AT & T sent new Gateway/Modem.

IP address changed, and IPv4 changed to  IPv6. Same problem.

At & T said the old router was slower than I paid for: Speed Test 210.6, 29.7 New router 475.5, 225.8. Google AI says clear cache: Clear Cache on Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) [1, 2, 3] 1. Open Menu: Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + Delete (Mac). 2. Time Range: Select "All time" to clear everything. 3. Select Data: Check "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files". 4. Clear: Click "Clear data" or "Clear Now". 5. Restart: Close and reopen the browser. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] I saved the icon of Network & Internet, Internet Options to delete temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords, and web info (same Thiong??????) Lastly Google AI recommended editing the DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). Any danger in doing this?

Good evening,

I'm going to install the applicatioin because it hasn't been working for several monnths ( it doesn't work anymore ). For exemple , if I want to watch Netflix and the video starts playing , there's no picture, it just loops and the screen is black.

I've tried everything turning off the computer, closing Netflix, even Youtube . I'm at a loss.

Thank you

It is impossible to access a certain website using Firefox mobile. Edge, Chrome and safari work fine. I tried to turn protection off but it makes no difference. Why is this happening? Site is www.hlc.bike a large b2b distributor in the cycling world.

Been like this ever since I installed FF mobile.

Firefox FREQUENTLY totally removes added applications attached and it totally screw up my ability to access anything when you remove my Bitdefender application from access then I have to again EXPLORE added applicaitons!!

After a recent firefox download, I noticed that on my 3 Mac computers, all using firefox on facebook, that none of my searches are being remembered anymore. But on Chrome they are remembered.

Does anyone else have this problem and what can be done about it. Facebook is useless for me without being able to use the search feature properly.
