Why did you have to go out of your way to prevent us from using browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll = false?

A feature that I absolutely hate is that a click into the URL bar selects all. This is almost never what I want to do when I click there. The only reason I click into the address bar is if I want to EDIT the URL, not overwrite it. If I want a completely different page I open another tab. I can't understand why anyone would want to overwrite all. When the property browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll was there and was honoured I could at least change that annoying behaviour. Meanwhile it is hardcoded, the property is removed and you can't even change it with a custom userChrome.css. Why is it that you find this feature so all-important that you remove every possibility to have it the way you like? Wasn't FOSS all about choice once?

Id love an answer to this moronic decision too. Its still constantly tripping me up. They allow searching in the address bar, so naturally you try editing your search queries. However, thats made a pain in the **** by this "feature" as my search queries keep getting wiped out. God forbidden you accidentality type the incorrect you URL and try edit it. Worse they then remove the option to use it how you wish.
