Ooh yes. This is particularly useful if you want to type in a URL you 
saw on another web page (if, for some reason, you're not using copy-and-
paste). Type in as much as you can remember, switch back to the page 
you saw the URL on, memorise a couple more components, switch back... 
and the partial URL is gone.

I wonder who thought this would be useful.

This is, at the moment, the biggest gripe I have with MozillaFirebird - 
the unresponsiveness while it's doing things.

(It also sometimes likes to eat the Ctrl key when I'm Ctrl-clicking on 
a bunch of links to open them in new tabs, causing my current page to 
be replaced by a random link.)

Cheers,
Philip
