Auto-Select Full Numbers (including comma and decimals)

[mwhouser]

I recently switched from Google Chrome to Firefox. I do much accounting work and one nice thing that Chrome did was auto-select full numbers (including commas and decimals) when I double clicked anywhere on the number.

For example, if I double click somewhere on "234" in "$1,234.56" on a page:

- Chrome would auto-select "1,234.56".

- Firefox only auto-selects "234".

Firefox stops at commas and decimal points.

Agreed, this would be a very helpful feature.  I run into the same issue, and I can't quite get there by modifying the "layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation" option in "about:config".
