double-click URL in some text in xterm
move to mozilla
middle-click in the page-rendering area (not the location bar)

With this, your clicking target is huge (almos the entire size of a
virtual desktop in my case) so it's very fast and easy. No aiming at
the location bar, no aiming at context menus.
Optionally add in a "ctrl-t" between moving to mozilla and middle-
clicking and you'll then get a new tab in which to paste the url, in
case you want it.
good times,
