Firefox does select the url on MAC 9 out of 10 times when clicking the omnibar, the person is going to replace the entire contents of it.
Makes no sense not to automatically select contents of the URL. Besides if it seems to be a good idea on Chromium for windows it should be a good idea in Chromium for MAC as well, people using windows do not use a browser differently than people on a MAC. Default behavior should be to select the contents of the location bar.
