When I click once it=20 selects the whole address and I can delete it, before I middle click to ins= ert=20 whatever was in the clipboard. As has already been commented, this won't work with FF, which replaces the= =20 clipboard when I necessarily double click to select the content of the addr= ess=20 bar. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1619850.PGzdI6SRTv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAABCAAGBQJVWQ4bAAoJELAdA+zwE4Ye9DIIALkHE96r3/e2Wub/Olst6ovo QTda5wSyIJ2nvwEMg4NXV3M7mNCup/rw1DOj6zQb2jS81z9zVLYRfxpZUSByJbk6 71TpMyHPAP+BOy7UctB9FRD48mxiEW+2cI0ONAywQAPbbJ1BnOyAb9LDgAsmAGaa nbh2j7jBSiml4oLRuZcvcSrJ3U2/0jsbCdS79Ihasxe2kQRZ1Fc000/tU3I3KA6N 5jF5ji2rUFWiHxmrlr47VktWsyvFifjOiO32Mb56c95nuC9P3BuyDzVY04K8/TA5 D3O6tlOq4n58RoLQO6YRZnemDC8gE61gAOh4mxOhGgWAoM+VTcEQmxZxiZJJtvo= =JKhl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1619850.PGzdI6SRTv--
