For now, can someone comment if changing the about:config pref controlling the URL font color (formatting) to 'False' is another browser trait that sites can detect & use to fingerprint? Could they detect the full URL was consistent color, instead of part black & part light gray?On 3/19/2016 4:48 PM, grarpamp wrote:On 3/19/16, Joe Btfsplk <joebtfsplk@xxxxxxx> wrote:In TBB 5.5.4, why does part of the URL that's copied / pasted, look so pale gray after loading, it's almost unreadable?Go to about:config search url / urlbar.Thank you. The preference, "browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled; True" seems to allow part of the url to be pale gray.
Maybe if looking at a device screen a few inches away, the URL being light gray isn't hard to read.
On a desktop, it's harder - for me.Some on Fx forums commented it was a "security feature," that hilights the base domain, to better show redirection, spoofing, etc. Understood - but the rest of URL is so pale - w/ default Times New Roman font, it's easy to misread & adding another problem. An issue to direct to Mozilla. Like change the *base domain* darkER / bolder, not the rest of URL to washed out gray.
