Details

Hitting CTRL-A in the URL bar doesn't select the URL - it appears to do nothing. Shouldn't it select the current URL?
This is almost certainly a dupe of bug 115791

This has absolutely nothing to do with bug 115791. It's a dup of bug 65791 and more. Because of expected compatability with emacs key shortcuts on *nix systems, ctrl+a will move to beginning of line. In order to select all of text in urlbar with "one click" on linux: Hit the Esc button instead. See also bug 91345.

Ah, my bad, then. I assumed that ctrl-A was behaving as the user expected, but that he just couldn't see it due to the lack of highlighting. Sorry to lead this bug astray.
