When you click in the URL bar or the Search bar, Firefox selects all the text
while it should enable the cursor where you clicked, it breaks the consistency
of the system since in all the others softwares it never happens, and I don't
understand why Firefox does this under Mac OS since it doesn't do it under the
linux version.
As a result, if you don't take care, instead of writing, you erase all since all
the field has been selected ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just click in the URL or the Search bar when text has been inputed
2. all the text will be selected instead of putting the cursor where you just
clicked
3. input text will clear everything
