424051 - Select autocomplete results onmousedown instead of onclick

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement, P5)

Description

Seems like an easy way to win 100ms(?) whenever you click an autocomplete result.  Might initially annoy users who have a habit of using holding the mouse button down while they think about whether they really want to click something, but eventually they'll get the 100ms win too :P

We seem to be aligned with the other browsers here, with a small difference, we don't update the selected row when holding down, nor we update the input field contents. I think changing behavior may surprise users, though the current behavior is also not working as expected.
