17 year old Firefox feature request fixed

When I click the address bar it's because I want to use the current tab to visit a new page, so select-all is perfect.

I think they should make this configurable though, I can see both sides of it.

Click -> select all

Ctrl+Click -> insert

Ctrl-T and start typing is much faster than mousing the cursor up to the URL bar

CTRL-L and then passing the new link goes to it in the current tab.

F6 and paste on Windows.

But then I am left with a stale tab.

CTRL+L would be the shortcut, but often I browse without my hand on the keyboard, just the trackpad or mouse.
