User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0 Build ID: 20110922153450 Steps to reproduce: More than a bug, this is an issue Hiding the "http://" prefix is very uncomfortable for develope in a localhost. You have to write complete "http://" always because if not, firefox try a search with google... and you lose some pretty time... think that a web developer do this a lot of times!!! Hiding that is not user friendly, this is useless... this is the most useless thing i've seen in a browser. I don't want "another" Chrome, I WANT FIREFOX! Actual results: For example, you have "localhost/helloworld.php", and you want to change to "localhost/helloworld2.php" writting the direcction, only adding the "2" (not link), you must go to the begining and rewrite again the "http://"... or firefox will launch a google search... as I said this is very unconfortable... unwanted search... go back, rewrite, then ok... Expected results: Give us the chance of show/hide "http://" as you like or show it when you click on the location bar.

By the way, you can disable this in about:config. The pref name is browser.urlbar.trimURLs.
