After upgrading Firefox on Mac, my address bar no longer displays the http:// in front of web address
I upgraded Firefox by clicking "About Firefox". After the upgrade I restarted the browser. Now, no matter what web page I go to, the http:// is missing from the address field. The only time it shows is if it's a secure webpage, such as https://
How do I get this back?
For example, when I go to http://amandascookin.com the site loads but the address bar only displays amandascookin.com

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