Relating to my previous post on how to disable Firefox 3 awesome bar, it seems that they are other changes on the new Firefox 3 final release. One of the new changes to Firefox 3 awesome bar is when you click on the firefox 3 location bar or the firefox 3 awesome bar, the click will select the entire URL in the firefox 3 location bar. In previous version of Firefox, single click will insert a the cursor, while double clicking will select the entire URL in Firefox location bar.

If you are not comfortable with the new function, you can disable single click will select the entire URL in firefox 3 location bar or firefox 3 awesome bar by editing browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll in Firefox 3 config file. The steps are:

1. Type about:config in firefox 3 location bar
2. Go to browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll
3. Double click to change the value to “false”
4. Close and restart Firefox 3.

By editing browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll and changing the value of browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to false will disable firefox 3 single click select all, and will resulted in the same action as the previous version of firefox, where single click will insert a cursor in the Firefox 3 location bar.
