Not to reopen a long dead, thread, but...ok, that's what I want to do.

It seems that this is broken on unix again.  Double clicking selects the
whole URL.  The default for:

browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

on Unix, is true.  This means that double clicking doesn't stop at
punctuation, because it doesn't stop at all, it just selects the whole
URL.  So was this whole bug for nothing?

According to this wiki:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

The behavior was changed to restore "double click selects all" on Unix.
But then, how can one double click to select a word?  In windows, the
default is different, meaning that double clicking to select a word
works.

The wiki states that it required "triple clicking" to select the URL.
In windows, single clicking selects the URL.  Should the same default be
considered for Unix?  Even if not, though, there should be a way to
select individual words in the URL.

Again, what was the point of having the "stops on punctuation" setting
if not to enable selection of "words"?
