Tiny things.

I write dynamic web-pages, so when testing stuff I'm often editing the URI variables in the address bar. In IE (which I have to use regularly for work, so am used to) I can click in the address bar and drag left/right to highlight what I want to get rid of and then type over it. I can do this whether the whole address is highlighted or not.

WIth Firefox if the URL is highlighted (which it always is when you click on it for the first time) I can't click and drag to select a portion of it, I have to click then release, then click-and-drag.

I appreciate that this is a tiny tiny thing that bugs only me out of the population of the entire f**king planet, but it irks me no end. It inturrupts the seamless flow of genius from brain though fingers into computer, and that can't be allowed.
