Alright, using Firefox version 27.0.1, hoping not to yet again get another version but rather the User Styles addon, I am experiencing yet another Firefox-fail. So there's a body or simply a line of text, I double click to highlight a certain portion, maybe even drag to highlight more, but now I'm getting MORE than I want.

The Double-Click Highlight function ought to be stopping either before the next word or the following punctuation. BUT NO! Example: Above the box I'm typing in now is the phrase "The more information you can provide, the better . . . ," then I double click the word "provide" (notice that there's a comma "," right after the word). Now if Firefox did it right, I ought to have ONLY the word "provide" highlighted, BUT NO, instead I get "provide, the" highlighted.

I need to get this fixed soon, preferably again without having to download yet another version of Firefox again.

Do theses layout prefs on the about:config page still have the default value?

  • layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation
  • layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word

Both were read "false", so I'm switching both to "true." Seems to work just fine now, THANKS!

(or ought only one of them read "true" and the other "false"?)
