874352 - Suggestion to keep the https certificate provider name location bar when editing

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement)

Description

[palani]

Attachment: https-certf.mov

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130511120803

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to edit the url to append a path (https://github.com/JugglerShu/XVim/issues/new). 
Since Firefox location bar displays a certification provider detail in front of the location bar. 


Actual results:

Editing action (typing a char or backspace) removes the certification provider detail in front of the location bar. Which starts the text from -x compared to the original x.


Expected results:

It should have kept the certification provider name or should not have started the url from -x. 
This feels like, some other parameter from the url were also removed in the process of editing.
