Show/Enable 'http://' URL Prefix in Mozilla Firefox's Location Bar

It's crazy that latest browsers are hiding http protocol from the location bar. As a developer sometimes i need to just add 's' on http:// to test SSL as https:// but i have to type everything to test. Also when I just want to copy the domain name it copies with http protocol. But i am not that fan of this. I prefer to view http:// on the location bar.
After some google search found this tips that did the trick.

Deleting individual URLs from Firefox's history

I have been using Firefox for quite a sometime now and have been preferring it while browsing rather than other browsers, which could be due to different add-ons available and may be due to other different positive sides of firefox but i was struggling to find out how i can delete an individual url from list of urls from history.
