its not missing, its not visible

As long as you know what I mean, you don't have to let the whole world know .... unless it's something useful (example: a solution)

If someone knows how to make it VISIBLE again..please advice. Thanks alot

Yeah they changed in ff7 like in Chrome

To get back http, do this:

1. Type “about:config “ in the address bar and hit enter

2. Double-click on browser.urlbar.trimURLs preference and turn its value to false.

Have fun! You can view http now

Edit: It would show light gray coloring in address bar! TO get rid of this, do this:

Set browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to False in the above page

Hope it helps
