User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

If for example you are visiting a long URL, like
http://groups.google.fr/groups/dir?hl=fr&sel=16823577,67188897,50392867,16823695,16823694
and say you would like to come back to the root: http://groups.google.fr, you
have to manually modify the URL in the address bar.
A shortcut to do that  automatically would be usefull.

Reproducible: Always

There are bookmarklets and extensions for this function (Go to, Go up, Digger).

Yes, actually the Diggler extension does the work. Except for the shortcut part
but I can live with it. Thx.

Fixed is only for bugs that get fixed by patches.
