Answer 1

The new behavior beginning in Firefox 7 is to highlight the domain (i.e., '''mozilla.org''') in the Location/URL/Address bar for easier identification.
Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about:config
#type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''
#double-click on the pref in the lower panel to toggle it to "false" '''''OR''''' right-click on the pref in the lower panel and choose "Toggle" to toggle it to "false"
#close the about:config tab
