This bug is about general selection behavior. Comment 89 and following is about urlbar selection, which explicitly overrides the default selection behavior. So they have nothing to do with this bug, which is in fact RESOLVED FIXED. You can test it by double-clicking "foo" in this text:
This.is.foo.stuff and seeing whether it's just "foo" that's selected or the whole string. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50254 Title: Ctrl-Backspace should stop_at_punctuation Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox In a typical GTK widget with a URL, pressing Ctrl-Backspace will erase up to the previous "/". This does not operate as expected in Firefox. Pressing Ctrl-Backspace in the URL field erases the entire URL. To fix this, layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation should be set to true in the default configuration. Firefox is then consistent with the rest of the desktop.
