278344 - Address Bar copy and paste scenario

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Gilbert G.]

If you intend to copy and paste the URL stated in the address bar of an opened
Firefox browser, you would onlu need to click once in the address bar and all
the text is highlighted already. Then you can process to copy and paste the URL.

Problem: If you only intend to copy a portion of the URL, you would need to
click anywhere in the address bar to deselect the highlight before you drag your
mouse to a scope of the URL that you want to copy.

Issue: Since we would want to limit the amount of unecessary mouse clicks in
using the browser, I would recommend that we'd take a closer look at their minor
bug.

Thanks.

I can start selecting text in the address bar without focusing it first.  One
scenario that requires extra clicks is if you select the entire URL by clicking
first and then decide to select a part of the URL, but that's bug 87410.
