Can I set double-click action (select all) to one-click in address bar? after years of using chrome its a little annoying, because I usually type a lot of URLs manually. Also if I remember correctly, this is default for windows os. can I have it on linux, pretty please? :)

There's two prefs for that in about:config - the hidden preference settings page. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
