The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hiding https:// is bug 1067293. I didn't find a bug for hiding www or trailing slashes, so I guess this can be that.

Bug 1850491 should enable hiding https://, hiding www is potentially a next step as other browsers are doing it.

We may want to split this into smaller chunks, the first step will likely be to strip both http AND https.
