Comment #3 on issue 20571 by [email protected]: Triple-click in omnibox  
followed by middle-click doesn't paste
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20571

I'm pretty sure that this is intentional in Firefox, and we should do the  
same thing.
Try left-clicking in the omnibox between the triple-click and the  
middle-click -- the
text is pasted then.  ("Preserve the previous PRIMARY selection even when  
text gets
unhighlighted" behavior predates GTK, I think -- this is how things work in  
xterm or
any other terminal emulator, and it's a useful feature, in my opinion.)

Experimenting with this a bit more, it looks like pasting while omnibox  
text is
already highlighted works unless the highlighting extends all the way to  
the end of
the text.  For example, middle-click pastes when the following text is  
highlighted:

   http://www.google.*com*/

but not when it's like this:

   http://www.google.*com/*
