I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.

@Gargron@mastodon.social In my case, what you describe after the update to 140 did not happen. But there are one (or two) settings relevant in the About:config screen.
I once changed the browser.urlbar.trimURL setting to "False" (as it should be :-) ). That setting was not altered to the default "true" in my case.
That setting alters both the displaying of http:// and https:// to display it or not.

There is also the setting: browser.urlbar.trimHttps
That only focuses itself to https. 1/2
