We’ve simplified the address bar by trimming “https://”/ from secure sites, while clearly highlighting when a site isn’t secure. This small change improves clarity without sacrificing awareness.
Ugh, fuck this.
Show me the entire url. -
Canada, but I too see the bsky link on 'www' — it's the 'blog' hostname that links to twitter instead.

It would be helpful if they fix the bug that renders the address bar unclickable

No. Good grief, no. I hope that Firefox dies from a lack of Google money before they release this garbage.

Who requested these changes? Was it the brainchild of someone who thinks they know what people want? Or is this more a case of telling people what's good for them? If it's the latter, I have several unprintable suggestions that would be just as good for the person doing the telling.
Can those of us who didn't request this feature and don't want it have an easily accessible option to turn it off? Or at least an option to show the old-school URL*? Bury it in about:config if you absolutely must, but please leave it available.
*Edit: By which I mean visible like it is in older versions of Firefox, not hidden behind something that has to be clicked every time the page changes.

What is the setting in about:config to opt out of this?

This is a change that's already been tried and reverted, and it was less than 10 years ago. What's the point in doing it again? Changing the semantic representation of a URL does not help anyone, and only encourages misunderstandings that lead to security issues.

Show me the entire url.I don't see the problem, given it'll still show the full url if you click on it, and it will highlight when it's http

Fuck off with hiding the URL, ever. Including the protocol.
For the last fifteen years, the best course of action has been, STOP COPYING CHROME. People who want what Chrome does - just use Chrome! We didn't choose a different browser because we want a different icon!

The only thing that wasn’t clear from the article was how to put a URL in the URL bar.

I guess I'm the only loser nerd to like this change. They basically turned the address bar into a command line. It reminds me of Vimperator command line of the wild pre-extension revamp days when you had commands to do or automate pretty much anything with keyboard commands. You could actually use the browser without a mouse. Good times.

Yeah exactly! Get rid of that stupid tab bar - Chrome has it, so why should another browser? Tab groups? No use! Easy-to-use profiles? Chuck 'm out!
(aka even though Chrome does a lot of stuff that's wrong, not everything Chrome does is wrong by definition.)

Nah, you and I are the only loser nerds who like it and are crazy enough to leave a comment.

Ah that's this one I think? It sounded like they've got a feeling for what's happening, so hopefully they'll manage to find out what causes it and fix it. Either way didn't sound like it was unfixed for lack of attention.
