Firefox Addressbar-clicking hack
This will be of most interest to a certain lanky Linux devotee who will hopefully read this; but if you’ve also been frustrated by the behaviour of Firefox’s address bar when you click on it, read on. The behaviour I refer to is that when you click on the addressbar, FF normally immediately highlights the entire line. If you’re used to this, OK, but it does go against a pretty widely adopted convention: click once to place the cursor, twice to select the word, and thrice to select the paragraph. MS Notepad/Wordpad/Write/Word have been doing this since the Dawn of Time ™. I suspect that’s also how Mac OS originally implemented cursor clicks in text fields, and it’s certainly a convention on *nix machines with X.
The fix? Not really even a hack, actually. In FF’s about:config screen, change ‘browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to false. Restart FF, and voila.
