This somehow just bit me as well. I actually want the default unix behavior that requires a tripple click to select the entire address bar. Somehow doubleClickSelectsAll got turned on for me, in Ubuntu 12.04. I think that it's stupid to default this to true in Unix, even if changed behavior when this bug was originally RESOLVED FIXED close to a decade ago.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll On Linux, I have the default of both singleClickSelectsAll and doubleClickSelectsAll to false to closely match the behavior of other apps. I've been using Firefox since it's inception and as far as I can remember this has always been the behavior. Is there another bug to request that Linux default to both being false, despite the expectation on other OSes? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50254 Title: Ctrl-Backspace should stop_at_punctuation Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox In a typical GTK widget with a URL, pressing Ctrl-Backspace will erase up to the previous "/". This does not operate as expected in Firefox. Pressing Ctrl-Backspace in the URL field erases the entire URL. To fix this, layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation should be set to true in the default configuration. Firefox is then consistent with the rest of the desktop.
