How To Change Firefox 3's URL Bar Behavior

Under Mac, in Firefox 3, clicking the URL bar is selecting the entire URL instead of positioning the your cursor where you want it. It’s dead annoying.

Here’s, from WebMonkey, a simple thing to do to change this:

  1. Type about:config in the URL bar, approved the warning.
  2. Look for browser.urlbar.clickSelectAll and put it to false.
  3. Look for the browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectAll and put it to true.

Now when you’ll click in the URL bar, it will place the cursor where your mouse is. By double clicking the URL bar, it will select the entire URL, like in any other applications. You also can press Command+L to select the entire URL.
