Focus incorrectly truncated URLs towards the beginning instead of around the origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141 and Thunderbird < 141.

For example, if the UI is used to monitor the security state of a system or network, then omitting or obscuring an important indicator could prevent the user from detecting and reacting to a security-critical event. UI misrepresentation can take many forms:
