Why is most of the URL address, except for the domain name, in gray font? It's difficult to read. I would like to make the entire address font in black
Before I upgraded to Firefox 6.0, the URL address was displayed in black text.
After upgrading, it is now displaying only the core domain name (e.g, mozilla.com) in black text, while any extra text (like, https://support. ) is grayed out.
It is very difficult to read this gray text on my monitor. I'd like to make it so that the entire address is displayed in black text, but I couldn't seem to find any kind of configuration setting under Options to change this.
Please let me know if I can modify the URL display to be all black again.

That is a new feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark.
Change a 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.formatting.enabled
- in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false
I am not sure whether or not you need to re-start Firefox after doing the above for the change to take effect. Test and if it does not work, then re-start Firefox and test again.

Really annoying way to "highlight" something. It doesn't make the allegedly more important part more visible; it makes the rest less visible.
The about:config setting did put it back to solid black on white. I don't object to the idea of highlighting the domain, but I do object to not being able to read the URL.
Attached is an example of highlighting the domain in a URL while leaving the complete URL readable.
