Is it just me, or does 0803 not do anything

/* 0803: display all parts of the url in the location bar ***/
user_pref("browser.urlbar.trimURLs", false);

I've even tested FF60, seems to do jack shit

WFM.

Note: You need a http site to test this. (e.g. http://neverssl.de/)

right, it's only for HTTP: so here's ESR91

notes

• it doesn't seem to affect www at all?
• when it hides http:// clicking into the urlbar doesn't expand to the untrimmed url (I thought it did in the past?, who cares)
• copying the URL retains the scheme

We already have HTTPS-Only mode which causes an interstitial (excluding site exceptions), and a red padlock is shown if you do go there, plus I guess you could say the lack of the scheme is also a sign

Pretty much going to say this pref is redundant and we can remove it. All in favor of the MIGHTY PANTS, say Aye

AF is almost always ahead of the curve - moz just need to move slow and not break things, and priorities - but that entirely misses the point that 1846646 is only an android change
