Binary package hint: firefox + + enable 'layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation' in firefox build for + feisty This option in about:config is enabled by default in all builds made by Mozilla for Windows, MacOS X, and pretty much every other platform, except Linux, I'm sure. The reason stated in the bug report I saw at mozilla's bug tracker, for this not to be fixed in the Linux Firefox builds from Mozilla.org (a 5+ year old bug!), was that it wasn't consistent with common Linux GUI interface behaviour, how the mozilla developers reached this conclusion, I do not know. Everything from the location bar in Nautilus, to even the default command line behaviour in Ubuntu, supports some way of skipping words in a command or path, by using <ctrl>+<direction keys> or some other hotkey. So, only makes sense that the firefox location bar should behave the same.
