2.Click somewhere on the page (optional)
3.Click the Address Bar

Actual Results:  
A cursor appears where you clicked

Used the installer build, and upgraded over a previous Branch build from ~1 week
ago.

fixed already, I assumed we were still inheriting the pref from gecko, we're
not, but this should be fixed in tomorrow's nightlies.

Clicking in the Address Bar shows the system caret, and does not auto-highlight
the address.

When was this fixed?
