Assuming the browser in question is netscape, you can click anywhere in the
location box and press Ctrl-U to delete all text in it. This may also work
with other (GUI) browsers.

This is actually one of my least favorite netscape features. I generally
open links in new windows by middle-clicking on the link. If my aim is a
little off, though, the existing window goes off looking for whatever is in
the paste buffer (which is frequently not a URL anyhow). Anyone know of a
way to turn this (mis)feature off?
