Automatically 'select all' in browser address/search bars

For anyone interested I have found an answer for this, if only in Firefox.

In Firefox url bar type

about:config

After heeding the "Here be Dragons" warning either search for or scroll to

browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

and

browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll

Double click to toggle.

Set browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll to false and set browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true

This will work in the url bar but not the search bar, I tend to use the url bar for search also so it wont overly bother me.

An alternative option is to double click anywhere in the address bar, which will automatically seleect the entire closest word. In the case of a URL that is the entire line. Concerning the search bar, you can also double click to select a word and triple click to select the entire content.

Actually there is a Automatic key for this . I have tried this in Firefox . Press F6 Functional key one time . then it will select the address bar automatically .
