Bug#775579: iceweasel: Clicking Iceweasel's URL bar does not preselect the existing URL

[Alexander Veit]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.3.0esr-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

clicking (activating) Iceweasel's URL bar does not preselect the existing URL.
An input cursor is opened at the click position instead.

Since most use cases like typing in, copying of the URL, or pasting a new URL,
require the existing URL to be completely marked, browsers normally preselect
the whole existing URL in these cases.  To fulfill the user's expectations
Iceweasel should behave the same.

With kind regards
Alex
