From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 BuildID: 2001062815 When I start typing in the address bar, Mozilla displays a number of matching URLs. These URLs have the page's title displayed next to them *in italics*. The font used for the URL (on Win32) is MS Sans Serif, not a true type font. The italics look horrible and make reading the title difficult (view screenshot at supplied URL). In addition, I don't see why the titles need to be emphasised in any way. I would simply put them in brackets, e.g. http://slashdot.org/ (Slashdot, News for Nerds) (Note I have ranked this as "Minor" rather than "Trivial", as it does reduce Mozilla's usability) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start typing the URL of a site in your history in the address bar. 2. When Mozilla displays a list of matches, note that the titles of the matches URLs are displayed in italics. Actual Results: Site/page title displayed in italics. Expected Results: Title should be displayed in normal font, no need for emphasis. If emphasis is required, bold rather than italic should be used.
Confirmed. I will put it up as a request for enhancement

Summary: Autocomplete URLs shouldn't have titles in italics → [RFE] Autocomplete URLs shouldn't have titles in italics
This only occurs in the Classic theme, so I'm moving this to the Themes component. I don't think the page titles need to appear in brackets. They could just appear a little darker, as they do in the Modern theme.
Component: User Interface Design → Themes
When I said the page titles could appear a little darker, I meant to say that they should appear a little lighter. Adding "classic" keyword and reassigning to default owner and QA for Themes.

Updating the summary a bit. I know we are using keyword classic, but this way the bug can be easy to understand while doing queries

This is a problem on Mac Classic too. --> All/All. I don't think there's any good reason that the titles should be shown any differently from the URLs. Just being in a different column makes it obvious enough what they are.
