When this change was made in FF Nightly I was annoyed enough to find out why it happened and file a bug report about the regression (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619801 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619801, and a dupe at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570), but apparently it was an intended change. What's annoying is that instead of just changing the default for Linux to be in line with other platforms, the option to not select the URL when clicking was completely removed. Now I have to click on the URL, wait a second, and then click again to place the cursor instead of selecting all. Especially annoying if you accidentally move your mouse off by a character between the two clicks. This makes me quite mad the few times per day I run into it - the feature is quite useful for changing URLs, which it turns out I do quite often, even though I'm usually not a web developer. I'm currently compiling Firefox with the patch reverted. EDIT: It worked!!! Compiling took about an hour with an AMD Ryzen 3800x (8x 3.9-4.5 GHz) and NVMe SSD and 32 GB RAM. I'll post a link in a followup comment here with instructions on the simplest way to do this on Arch Linux (uses the build infrastructure already setup to create Arch's regular Firefox package, just modified to also revert the patch which removed this preference). Of course there's no guarantee that this will continue to work in the future as the FF codebase is updated.
