Thanks for your attention and a happy new year!No, this was set many years ago as an alignment for people using the standard clipboard (the majority of users) across all platforms, to have expected uniform behaviour.altering the default for browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll on x11-based platform builds.
This default will not be changed for the few primary buffer users. If you want this behaviour changed, configure it on your own installation. It's why it's configurable
I very much like the idea of uniform behaviour. But this not the case currently, placing the cursor has an additional (and unwanted) effect on X11, which is not the case on Windows. Mozilla recently implemented the real uniform behaviour (where cursor placement doesn't result in overwritten primary buffer, despite having the complete URL marked). Will try to find out how/when. This improvement eradicates the only drawback of the default X11 primary selection (and it's highly desirable to be consistently implement in other X11 applications too, see for example how the Thunar (or probably any other x11-filemanager) rename doesn't work well...).
I thought maybe other forum users might have followed mozilla commits and are aware about the corresponding change.
Any hints appreciated
