I don't. But, I guess you need to clarify, when you're saying you |

"copy/paste", is it Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V type of copy/pasting or Middle-click |

type of copy/pasting? |

Firefox's middle-click url-paste only works if your middle click is not |
15 |
in the address bar. If you middle-click in the address bar, the regular |
16 |
buffer-paste mechanism takes over (i.e. it will paste your selection |
17 |
buffer without deleting what's previously on the address bar). |

So, we have three copy-paste mechanism: |
20 |
- Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, we're all familiar with this |
21 |
- Buffer-Paste, provided by X, pastes your selection buffer to hovered |
22 |
textbox |
23 |
- Url-Paste, provided by Firefox, loads the URL in the selection buffer, |
24 |
which as a side effect, replaces the address bar with that url |
