I was actually just googling for disabling the address bar select-all and this came up near the top. Big surprise, there’s a lot of people that really hate this bug feature.

Awesome. I didn’t think to look for a script. Very smart of you. I’ll take it for a spin, and if will try on LibreWolf as well.

I don’t think “surprise” means what you think it means 🤣🤣
I use LibreWolf instead of Firefox, so it didn’t work the first time, as it could not find a Firefox directory, evidently.

We can finally be happy.
