Mozilla is great, Phoenix is great, but there is one thing that annoys me: I
enter a URL and then see that i have misspelled it, or I want to browse directly
into another folder. I could press backspace 20 times, I could use the mouse,
mark the letters to delete or I could do something I have only seen in Internet
Explorer so far: I could press <End> then <Ctrl>+<Left-Arrow> for expample and
then type the new folder name or whatever.
I'm using such keyboards shortcuts very often and I'm not the only one. I wonder
that nobody else requested it yet (?)

Thx for your great work!

This is bug 98546, "Better word-break detection (double-clicking, Control+arrow
keys, Control+Backspace/Delete)".  That bug isn't easy to find unless you think
to search for the term "word break", but it is on the most-frequently reported
bug list: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.cgi?openonly=1.

Ooops, sorry about that. It was my first bug report ever and I didn't look on
the most reported bugs list.

Mass verifying of old bugs.
