Background

When the default for layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation was changed for Firefox Unix builds in bug 190615, a side effect was that selecting the entire URL in the Location Bar required triple-clicking. To restore the original double-click-selects-all behavior, this preference (and corresponding Location Bar code) was added to Firefox. It is not present in SeaMonkey 2.0.x (bug 611162).
