How do I restore the http:// prefix in FireFox 7
I have just installed Firefox 7 and I find that a new feature is that it removes the http:// prefix from URLs and makes other changes to URLs (I believe it removes trailing / characters) and greys out parts of URLs (www.). How can I restore the default behaviour of showing the full URL? A search of the support section; the web in general; Firefox options and about:config has not produced a solution.

Hiding of the http: part
The protocol (http://) has been removed from the URL in the location bar for http:// pages only. https:// pages will still have the protocol. There's also a known bug where if you copy the URL after selecting it from the awesome bar dropdown (but before loading the page), it won't include the http:// part. Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false in about:config.
Urlbar highlighting
This is a feature in Firefox to highlight the domain in the URL bar. Other parts will become grey. You can change a preference to make the entire URL dark. Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about:config.
To change this preference:
type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.
if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)
Filter: browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled
in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false
