I thought one the biggest "selling-points" of a multi-platform browser was user interface consistency (a safe harbor to the user) across the different OSes and/or graphical systems?
GTK2 default (in Ubuntu at least) is to stop in punctuation for either double-click or ctrl+arrow. KDE/Qt default is to stop for ctrl+arrows but not for double-clicks. In Firefox both behaviors are controlled by a single preference, so I'd say the 'stop_at_punctuation=true' is the only option? Or is Firefox meant to mimic arena or motif and look like 20-year-old software?

BTW, "traditional *nix users" should be using Lynx instead! :-P

(I apologize for repeating the same old points again, but the fact that this issue is still unfixed shows that people either didn't like the way we've put it or that they didn't read the arguments at all...)
