It now takes three rather rapid clicks to select all the text (for example, to quickly delete or just to have the older text wiped when the first character is typed in). IE 6 SP 1 selects all text with one click, which is frankly what it should do in Mozilla. This new behavior just sucks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on any text in URL bar. 2. 3. Actual Results: See Details. Expected Results: Should select all text with the first click.

The behaviour is by design (see bug 125172) and isn't going to be changed. However, see bug 188567 for a "fix" that, hopefully, will get implemented (as well as some workarounds). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 188567 ***

Incidentally (I just now saw your "expected results" comment) you can achieve a single-click highlight of everything by using the following preference in your prefs.js or user.js file: user_pref("browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll", true); (Perhaps I should have resolved this as INVALID since that functionality already does exist - however I'll leave it as is.)
