ubuntu, linux, firefox, another small but irritating issue...

[legolas]

Hi,

My search went futile in getting an answer for solving this silly yet very nagging issue in firefox. When you open a tab, the blinking cursor is active in the location bar so that we can directly start typing.

Similarly, when we click on the mouse on the existing address, in windows, it automatically selects the current address. However in ubuntu/linux, this doesnt happen. we have to double-click it everytime. This is very annoying for me. Because, i forget all the time and i type the address and execute only to get an invalid page error!!!

Is there a solution for this? I click on the location bar, it should select by default. No bugging double-clicks. I know there is a Alt+d and ctrl+l shortcut, but i am not concerned regarding those.

thks,
legolas.

This is easy again:

Go to about:config

Find 'urlbar'

Change browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to [B]true[/B].

P.s. Might change a few actions middle click performs on Firefox's Address Bar after changing this value, but I hope you don't mind that.
