This prevents me from drag and dropping the URL string onto my HD in order to create a webloc file. How can this "feature" be disabled ?

The protocol (http://) has been removed from the URL in the location bar for http:// pages only. https:// pages will still have the protocol. This may be confusing to some users. There's also a known bug where if you copy the URL after selecting it from the awesome bar dropdown (but before loading the page) it won't include the http:// part.

Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs 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.trimURLs
  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

Thank You !!!

I appreciate your quick reply and an answer that actually works - unlike some companies which just tell you to "reinstall the software" or "restart your PC" :-)
