Tweak location bar to highlight complete domain

Is there a hidden setting to tweak the (otherwise nice) domain highlighting feature in the location bar so it highlights the complete domain?

A computer program is not smart enough to decide what parts of a subdomain are meaningless, save for the "www." prefix: "http://aerojarre.blogspot.com/" and "http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/" are not the same site!

1) Open a new tab and go to about:config 2) Click the "I'll be careful" button if you need to 3) Find the option called browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled 4) Double-click it so that it is set to "false." This can also be done by right-clicking the option and choosing "toggle" 5) Close the config tab, domain highlighting should now be disabled.

^: that wasn't the question.

The OP want the full domain to be highlighted (maybe only not the www. part).


I'm not aware of a way to achieve that.
