BTW I'm relatively confident that windows by default double click selects the whole text, since I'm frequently frustrated by expecting Linux behavior and getting something else. I'm not sure what the default of IE, chrome, Firefox etc is in the urlbar but I don't think it should really matter, because linux (unix?) users have a different expectation.

This does not operate as expected in Firefox. Pressing Ctrl-Backspace in the URL field erases the entire URL. To fix this, layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation should be set to true in the default configuration. Firefox is then consistent with the rest of the desktop.
