Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171130114045 Steps to reproduce: When browser.urlbar.trimURLs is true (the default), Firefox for Android trims HTTP "m." subdomains, so for example http://m.example.com/path is displayed as example.com/path This makes the URL/subdomain indistinguishable from http://example.com/path This behaviour is fundamentally different from the *documented* behaviour at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Preference_reference/browser.urlbar.trimURLs, which states that only "http://" and a trailing "/" for the top-level path are trimmed. With the documented behaviour, the full URL can be unambiguously determined from the displayed part (space allowing), since the omissions imply only one specific removed string at each end; with the actual FF Android behaviour, this is not the case. This does not happen on desktop Firefox, even with the UA changed.
