Turn Off the feature of greying out the "extraneous" bits of the URL in Firefox

Type about:config in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise! button.

-> In the Filter bar, type browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled

  • Right click the preference browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled and click Toggle
  • The value is now set to False

-> In the Filter bar, type browser.urlbar.trimURLs

  • Right click the preference browser.urlbar.trimURLs and click Toggle
  • The value is now set to False

-> Close the about:config tab and then Restart Firefox.

Check and tell if its working.

-> Update Firefox to the latest version (9.0.1)

-> Update All your Firefox Plugins
