857361 - Provide the option to display a webpage's url in the url bar, instead of the title

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 778216

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Erik Vold [:erikvold] (please needinfo? me)]

For users that care about their security there should be a option that provides them with the means to see the url in the url bar for webpages that they visit, instead of being forced to see the page title which has no useful information as it is usually just filled with SEO junk for Google.

Bug 605206 is the one that should really be fixed, but since that was marked as wontfix there really should be an option provided to users so that they are not forced to use Google Chrome.

The click on the url bar to see the url, then click away to go back to your page, for every page you visit, is not really a user friendly solution, especially if you consider how clicks and seconds that takes.  If you add that up for every page visited in a session it's staggering.

Did you mean to file a second bug here after your bug 857326 was duped?

Still a dupe of a different bug.
