I could not agree more. > You mention you don't want to override possibly existing clipboard contents. > I don't think anyone uses the PRIMARY to paste URLs into address bars (or has > done so before) as it involves/involved selecting (parts of) the URL anyway. > That's what CLIPBOARD is for.

Whenever a text is highlighted, it is expected that it is copied into the primary buffer on Linux and accessible from the mouse buttons. Not doing this is not only not providing the expected behaviour, but also confusing users who might think that something else is broken. > Apart from that, I'd rather introduce a new button/shortcut/etc for a new > functionality (clear and focus) instead of breaking standards > Also agree, or at least you could make the behaviour editable using the `about:config` and anyone could choose the behaviour according to their needs and likings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888942 Title: marked url in firefox by using one click isn't copied to clipboard, only with a triple mouse-click Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hi, if I click in an url in firefox, the whole url ist marked, i.e. highlighted. If I now use a click on the mousewheel to paste the content of the clipboard into another software, I discover that the url wasn't copied into the clipboard - the previous content ist filled in. That's confusing to me. I would expect: If I can mark an url in Firefox with a single mouse-click, which looks like a marking with a triple click, then it should be copied also in the clipboard. That would be a consisting behavior.
