After Google and Opera, the Firefox developers have also decided to not display "http://" when showing URLs in the address bar. The modifications have just been made to Mozilla's releases of Firefox (version 7), which will become Firefox 7 later this year. The change, aimed at making URLs more readable, will also see elements of a URL such as "www." displayed in a lighter font colour.
Only http:// URLs will be affected; like Chrome, Firefox will display https:// URLs in full.
