Address bar ignores Ctrl+A (Select All) – Firefox 154.0b5 on Windows 11 25H1

Description：In the Firefox URL (address) bar, pressing Ctrl+A does not select all text. This breaks a universal keyboard shortcut and forces users to use the mouse or right‑click menu, reducing efficiency.

Steps to Reproduce：

Open Firefox 154.0b5 (64‑bit) on Windows 11 25H1.
Click inside the address bar (or focus it with F6 / Alt+D).
Press Ctrl+A on the keyboard.

Expected Result：The entire text in the address bar becomes selected (highlighted), as it does in most browsers and native Windows applications.

Actual Result：Nothing happens – the text remains unselected.

Environment

Firefox version: 154.0b5 (64‑bit) – Beta channel
Operating system: Windows 11 25H1 (build 26100.??? – please confirm)
Theme: Default (also occurs with other themes)
Extensions: Tested in safe mode – issue persists

Yes, I'm having the same issue as this. It seems to happen after the app has been in use for a short time.
I'm no longer able to use my cursor to highlight part or all of the content in the address bar in 154.0b5.
It's surprisingly irritating!
