Double click in Firefox: Select whole path, dont't stop at slash

Question

If I double click on "bar" in a path like "/foo/bar" in firefox only "bar" gets selected. In gnome terminal it works the way I like it: the whole path gets selected.

How can I modify firefox to select the whole path?

Answer 1

There is a setting "layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation".

The default is "true". If you set it to "false". Now double click won't stop at underscores or slashes.

Set it like this: type about:config in the address bar, hit [ENTER]. Then enter the first chars of the variable, modify it, done.

You can change this setting in thunderbird like this: Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor (button)"
