Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.3.0esr-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
clicking (activating) Iceweasel's URL bar does not preselect the existing URL.
An input cursor is opened at the click position instead.
Since most use cases like typing in, copying of the URL, or pasting a new URL,
require the existing URL to be completely marked, browsers normally preselect
the whole existing URL in these cases. To fulfill the user's expectations
Iceweasel should behave the same.

With kind regards

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
