Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox is more usable with the browser.
In every Windows and Mac browser, clicking the address bar selects the URL. Presumably, the reason that Linux browsers usually don't is due to X's odd habit of copying selected text to the clipboard, replacing whatever was there previously. Since Ubuntu takes a more enlightened approach to clipboard management, why not restore a useful feature and make it the default?
