Get The Full URL Back In Firefox 7

Firefox: The latest 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 if you’d prefer a full address.

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.

Thanks to David for sending this in!
