Ahhh, finally someone tells me how to make ctrl+shift+left arrow do what it’s supposed to in the URL bar! Good work fella :)

Thank you thank you thank you! The ctrl+shift+left arrow thing was driving me nuts (I don’t know what’s wrong with the Firefox developers, but making it default to false is idiotic).

Great tips esp layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation.

Another one not listed here is to make the backspace key go back to the previous page like in windows you can set browser.backspace_action to 0

Thanks for this - I’m a new Linux user, and the Ctrl/URL issue was driving me crazy…
