Hi,

I hope this works:

  • Type in the URL-bar: about:config
  • Click on the button to go to the about:config list
  • Type in the searchbox browser.urlbar.clickAtEndSelects
  • Double click on the entry to make it bold
  • Restart Firefox

If this isn't what you mean, make sure you set the value back at its default.

Kind regards, Joren
