Many folks (my mother included) expect the URLbar text to be selected if it gets focus. The idea is that you are providing a whole new URL instead of hand-editting the existing one 99.6% of the time. Firefox/Mozilla makes this configurable. Default value is false (why??!). Changing it is as simple as visiting “about:config”. Filter on “click” and then toggling the “browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll” to true. You need to restart Firefox for this change to take effect.
Possible fix/work-around for freezing ndiswrapper + BCM4309 4
Posted by admin
Stumbled on this freezing bug report for ndiswrapper on Dell laptops with Broadcom wireless hardware. The suggestion made in the report fixed this longstanding issue for me! Woohoo! Basically you need to config the BIOS POST to do a “thorough” instead of the default “minimal” check. It will add a couple of seconds to the boot time but it defintely fixes all the annoying hangs when loading the ndiswrapper (fingers crossed). Tested with ndiswrapper 1.2pre CVS.
Update: after 3 weeks of heavy wireless usage I can definitely say this fixes the crashing as the wireless connection has been rock solid! Not a single hang/crash.. Weeh!
