1243953 - Shortened URL should be displayed while loading pages

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

Currently we only show syntax highlighting when we actually load a page. I find it looks bad because there are too many things popping in at different times while loading a page. I find this looks especially bad when the text needs to slide because of https, tracking protection, etc.

For an example, see: https://youtu.be/ztm9nenZ8GQ

Depending on the outcome of bug 	1236431 we might not need the highlighting anymore. Or a different one.

Since bug 1236431 we are showing a shortened URL in the URL bar. But especially on slow networks you see the full URL until we replace it with the shortened URL after receiving a "title update" event. Let's see if we can update the URL earlier.
