669900 - add a new pref to avoid trimming https from urlbar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement)

Some users are really puzzled by the fact we hide "https" in the new urlbar.
We have a pref to trim the scheme from the urlbar's contents, we could have
another one just for https...

Good news: we don't actually hide https :)

Note that existing tests also verify this, e.g.:

   testVal("http://mozilla.org/", "mozilla.org");

vs.

   testVal("https://mozilla.org/", "https://mozilla.org");

Daniel, the code you're changing is the code that trims the trailing '/' for https URLs.  The scheme itself is not trimmed.
