------- Comment #1 from maw@novell.com 2007-01-22 16:04 MST ------- In about:config, you can set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true. Is that sufficient?

------- Comment #2 from gatoatigrado@myrealbox.com 2007-01-22 18:10 MST ------- awesome, thanks! perhaps this could be set as the default behavior? It is in Windows/Mac.

------- Comment #4 from wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2007-01-25 12:53 MST ------- I think stop_at_punctuation would be OK for content but it applies to the urlbar, too. This is a no-go IMHO. Everyone is used to cut'n'paste urls from the urlbar with one double-click.

--- Comment #6 from Wolfgang Rosenauer wolfgang@rosenauer.org 2008-09-15 02:19:30 MDT --- Closing since it's a (about:config) preference and there is no UI requirement to change that default behaviour (that I'm aware of).
