Anyone else hate this? I don't want a dumbed down bar. If Im on the homepage, I want to know. Same as if I'm on a subpage.

This is in reference to Mozilla changing the URL to ALWAYS show only the domain. Absolutely terrible IMO. As for the double tall menu now? That is mostly fine.

At least give me an option to see the full url.

This is done for user safety from phishing, and is very much not something power users needs. But any non-power user exclusively benefits from this at no downside. It should be toggleable though, isn't it?

Yeah, I get why it's there and agree that it's probably a good default. It's also something I wouldn't want for myself and would be happy to toggle.

I also realise that we're all just talking about Nightly. I'm hoping the toggle appears at some point, will report bugs if I encounter them, and am going to hold back on the outrage for now.
