Shift+Click to select several line in a listbox or to select a range of text
doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click somewhere in the middle of an HTML document
2.Shift+Click somewhere else in the document


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Everything between the first click and the shift+click should be selected

Same problems in forms. For instance, in Bugzilla's query page, I used to be
able to select several status states by selecting one end of the range then
shift+clicking on the other end.

WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031204
Firebird/0.7+ (aebrahim)

Clicking and then shift+clicking works for me (for selecting text and for
selecting a range of items in a multiselect listbox).

Works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031203 Firebird/0.7+

Please try installing into a new directory and creating a new profile, using the
MozillaFirebird.exe -p switch, and report your results here

Hmm, I thought I tried that but I guess it was only for bug #227519 (search
toolbar settings reset). It does work with a new profile.

For the record, the "problem" is actually a feature of the Adbloc v0.5 extension
(http://adblock.mozdev.org) called QuickBlock (more details at
http://aasted.org/adblock/viewtopic.php?t=108#708).

"ctrl+shift+k" changes QuickBlock's status to "off", "partial" and "on". The
state is indicated by the line under "Adblock" in the lower left part of the
screen.
