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

Making moves

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?
