Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
This option in about:config is enabled by default in all builds made by
Mozilla for Windows, MacOS X, and pretty much every other platform,
except Linux, I'm sure.
The reason stated in the bug report I saw at mozilla's bug tracker, for
this not to be fixed in the Linux Firefox builds from Mozilla.org (a 5+
year old bug!), was that it wasn't consistent with common Linux GUI
interface behaviour, how the mozilla developers reached this conclusion,
I do not know.
Everything from the location bar in Nautilus, to even the default
command line behaviour in Ubuntu, supports some way of skipping words in
a command or path, by using <ctrl>+<direction keys> or some other
hotkey. So, only makes sense that the firefox location bar should behave
the same.
Thanks
