I was actually just googling for disabling the address bar select-all and this came up near the top. Big surprise, there’s a lot of people that really hate this bug feature.
If you’re interested, it can also be changed in Vivaldi.
Just type “vivaldi://settings/addressbar” in the address bar, and uncheck “Select Address on Activation”, under “Address Field Options”.

Hey I might have found something… Doesn’t look like there’s been an update in awhile but appears to have been working at least through FF102. https://github.com/SebastianSimon/firefox-omni-tweaks
I’ll have to give it a try later tonight.
Awesome. I didn’t think to look for a script. Very smart of you. I’ll take it for a spin, and if will try on LibreWolf as well.

I use LibreWolf instead of Firefox, so it didn’t work the first time, as it could not find a Firefox directory, evidently.

We can finally be happy.
I don’t think “surprise” means what you think it means 🤣🤣
