I'm probably not reading you correctly either, but just in case....


I don't remember a open button like the one you're asking about (then again I'm
not certain I remember yesterday correctly ;-))

But, are you perhaps looking for something like:

1) Highlighting a url from an email, xterm, etc.  (left click-hold-drag)

2) Opening the page selection box. (top menu: file, open page)

3) Paste url in selection box with (middle button or both buttons of a 2 button
mouse)

4) Opening the url with "open in navigator" button?
