Steps to reproduce:
I've displayed <head>, <title>, <script> and <style> with CSS
head, title,script, style { display: block }
Ctrl+A or Edit / Select All
Actual results:
it selects <body> content
Expected results:
It should select all visible text content (including <head>)

For reference, this is the problematic check. However that's not enough, and that selection can't be copied, so needs more digging.
We should probably remove most of these assumptions of "<body> is the root in html documents".

anchorNode and focusNode not text but <body>
getSelection()
Selection { anchorNode: body, anchorOffset: 0, focusNode: body, focusOffset: 6, isCollapsed: false, rangeCount: 1, type: "Range", caretBidiLevel: 0 }
getSelection().toString() is body content
In contrast Chrome selects all but
getSelection()
Selection { anchorNode: text, anchorOffset: 0, baseNode: text, baseOffset: 0, extentNode: body, extentOffset: 0, focusNode: body, focusOffset: 0, isCollapsed: false, rangeCount: 1, type: "Range" }
focusNode is <body> and
getSelection().toString()
"Select All in <head>, <title>, <script> <style>
//foo
/* foo */
"
does not include <body>

Firefox 77 selects all text
getSelection()
Selection { anchorNode: html, anchorOffset: 0, focusNode: html, focusOffset: 2, isCollapsed: false, rangeCount: 1, type: "Range", caretBidiLevel: null }
Looks right, but
getSelection().toString()
"<html contenteditable> Select All
Ctrl + A or Edit > Select All"
No <head> content and I don't know where it got newlines.
Oh, it does not matter if <head> is visible

Where is getSelection().toString() implementation?
Maybe

It really is broken
getSelection().selectAllChildren(document.documentElement)
getSelection().toString()
"<html contenteditable> Select All
Ctrl + A or Edit > Select All"
That is a blocker
