It's more about the newsgroups not using the abbreviated name than anything else. Ellipsis was never in the middle.

Comment 3

[Alessandro Castellani [:aleca]]

We were also adding ellipses in the middle, thanks to the XUL crop="center".
We're using pure HTML and CSS now, so the text-overflow only supports ellipses at the start and end of the text.
There's a proposal going around to add native support for middle cropping, but for now that's a no go. https://www.w3.org/wiki/Text-overflow_middle_cropping.

The abbreviatedName property only differs from name for newsgroups, which is what we want.
