The protocol (http://) has been removed from the URL in the location bar <u>for http:// pages only</u>. '''https:// pages will still have the protocol'''. This may be confusing to some users. There's also a known bug where if you copy the URL after selecting it from the awesome bar dropdown (but before loading the page) it won't include the http:// part. Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false in about:config #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL/Address bar and press the Enter key #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful) #Filter = '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' #double-click on the pref in the lower panel to toggle it to "false" '''''OR''''' right-click on the pref in the lower panel and choose "Toggle" to toggle it to "false" #close the about:config tab '''If this reply solves your problem, please click "Solved It" next to this reply when <u>signed-in</u> to the forum.''' ------------------------- Not related to your question, but...
