Hi

...I seem to remember that it worked this way, but i was maybe using an extension... Want i create a newtab (google.com in my case), the cursor goes in the adressbar (which is fine to me), but id like the adress to be highlighted, so that i could immediately start typing, without having to do a ctrl-a/delete first. Much preferably without extension please :)

Thanks a million

Does pressing the ESC key highlight the location bar content?

Thanks cor-el, yes, pressing esc does highlight that (which is much better than ctra+a, but still :))
