Did they hide it? I see "https://" in my Firefox.



They show https:// but they hide http://


Oh, I honestly would've missed this, because so few sites I browse are in cleartext anymore. They may as well just display a giant "INSECURE" banner, instead of http://, though.


FWIW, this recently landed in Firefox Nightly:

security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled

security.insecure_connection_icon.pbmode.enabled

Though it's still disabled by default (currently the insecure connection icon is only shown if a password field is present on a http page / the form action url is http).


They will, and they already do if that page includes a password form field :)
