Obviously FF has done an update and now one click highlights all text in the URL bar. Setting to False does not work. Mac OSX 10.11.6 Addons used are : 1Password, Adblock Plus, Cookies Notification Hider, Facebook Container. Any suggestions much appreciated.

The clickSelectsAll prefs are no longer supported in Firefox 75 and later.

  • Bug 1621570 - browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll=false has no effect since 75b1
  • Bug 333714 - browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll should default to true on all platforms
