Details

The Fennec url bar is displaying a page's title and not the url, which makes it extremely easy to spoof a site and start stealing passwords from people. Especially since the virtual keyboard on android sucks and makes it easier to mistype urls. The url should be displayed, especially the domain.. Show the title someplace else.
Every other mobile browser does the right thing here, including Safari..
