Description
Even if it is very "w******s like": A single click in the adress bar of firefox should automatically select the whole url. It is very annoying to always use a double click if you want to enter a new url.

I just do end,shift+home,and type.

I don't think it is a big deal.

ctrl + L works good enough for me.

You can change this in about:config.

This is very bad idea.
Often the site is http://www.example.com/porno/galleries/25/
Then I need to be able to change that 25, to 26 and 27 to watch next gallery.

about:config
type "select" then double click "browser.urlbar.clickselectsall" to set it to true.
