[Bug 87550] Re: enable 'layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation' in firefox build for feisty

[Hilario J. Montoliu (hjmf)]

** Tags added: mt-confirm

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
+ 
+ enable 'layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation' in firefox build for
+ feisty
  
  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
