The new behavior beginning in Firefox 7 is to highlight the domain (i.e., mozilla.org) in the Location/URL/Address bar for easier identification.

Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about:config

  1. type about:config in the Location/URL/Address bar and press the Enter key
  2. if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
  3. Filter = browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
  4. double-click on the pref in the lower panel to toggle it to "false" OR right-click on the pref in the lower panel and choose "Toggle" to toggle it to "false"
  5. close the about:config tab
