When I open a new browser window, the first thing I want to do is select the text
in the URL bar to replace it. I do this by clicking after the text, and dragging
leftwards.

The problem is that this first click-drag does nothing, presumably because it
takes one click to focus the text field. We need to set focus on the first mouse
down, so that this first click-drag both sets focus, and selects.

yeah, I know about this one.  thanks for the bug.  I don't think this is
dogfood, but it is pre-beta.  Setting to M13.  It's about 1 day of work.
I see this problem on windows too. That's the first thing I do when I fire it up
too :).
