Assuming the browser in question is netscape, you can click anywhere in the location box and press Ctrl-U to delete all text in it. This may also work with other (GUI) browsers. > Others have addressed the general problem.

This is actually one of my least favorite netscape features. I generally open links in new windows by middle-clicking on the link. If my aim is a little off, though, the existing window goes off looking for whatever is in the paste buffer (which is frequently not a URL anyhow). Anyone know of a way to turn this (mis)feature off? -- That's not gibberish...
