Get the Full URL Back in Firefox 7

Firefox: The newest update to Firefox just launched today with a slew of new features, but one of those happens to include a shortened URL bar. Thankfully, reader David has a simple solution.

1. In Firefox’s URL bar, type in: about:config and agree to the pop-up message.
2. Search for: browser.urlbar.trimURLs.
3. Double-click or right-click and select toggle to change the value to false.

Now you’ll get the full HTTPS or HTTP in the URL so you won’t be confused on whether you’re viewing a secure site.
