In my environment (albeit with a much older version of Firefox, so probably using an older GTK as well), a single click in the address bar sets the insertion point without selecting. The most likely cause of the difference is a change in either the behavior of Firefox itself, or the behavior of the GTK backend which provides some aspects of Firefox's behavior (e.g., scrollbars). If this is actually one of the features that's controlled by GTK, the second most likely would be the local configuration of that backend. Third most likely would be some other aspect of the environment. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
