iOS long press on link no longer showing full url?

This was very useful, and seems to have disappeared. Now all it shows is the domain. WHY?

Yeah, to me this feels like a regression and could lead to phishing.

I suspect they wanted to highlight the actual domain to prevent phishing, but for a lot of sites this means I can't see where I'm going if I click the link. The best case is I get Rick Rolled on an unknown "youtube.com" link, and then for other domains it gets worse for security and privacy purposes after that 😞

I submitted this as a bug report https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/27719

it wasn't immediately dismissed, which is probably good.
