ugh, filing bugs on a tablet is terrible...

build id: 
Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110718 Firefox/8.0a1 Fennec/8.0a1 ID:20110718034313

steps to reproduce:
1. go to about:firefox or about:
2. mouse down in the build id text

actual results:
the branding image at the top of the age is selected.

expected results:
the build id text is selected.

I thought this was a dupe, but I can't find the bug.

On Fennec trunk desktop windows, I don't get to see selection handles at all.
In a debug build, I see a bunch of warnings, when trying to invoke selection on about: pages:

And in current Nightly on the LG Optimus Black, I'm not getting the selection handles, either.
