(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Mike Odom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030714 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

I'm used to Moz and IE where I can type in part of a URL, it'll find a previous
history list. Then I can hit the right arrow key and change the end of the URL.
However, Firebird puts the cursor at the front of the URL after an item is
selected from the history drop down.
I know Firebird has a "dict" option, but for example, I'll type in "dict" and up
comes the URL http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q= I select it, right the
right arrow and start typing. I use this a lot as a webmaster on my own pages /
navigating other sites as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing a URL that exists
2. Press down to select one of the items
3. Hit the right or left arrow key or the backspace key.

Actual Results:  
The cursor appeared at the start of the address bar.

Expected Results:  
The cursor should have appeared at the end of the address bar.
