How do you highlight a word in the browser's URL bar by mouse? It seems Windows can do this but not LM

#Edit: Thanks, everyone; I guess it must be a /r/Waterfox thing!

For example, if the URL bar shows:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/

In Windows, you could double-click on www to then proceed to change it to old.

  1. Highlights the entire URL
  2. Reduces the highlighted portion to the current word over the mouse cursor, which a fast double-click normally does in any text editor

In Linux, though, the clicks apply accordingly:

  1. This click does not do any highlighting and puts the cursor immediately where it would be as if the URL bar was in a text editor
  2. This second click highlights the whole URL
  3. Any further clicking oscillates between these two behaviors

Is there any way to change Linux's mouse cursor's word selection behavior?

The free filter does not take into account the charging stations that are temporarily free for just the first two hours or so. Is there any way for us to filter for those as well?

I read that someone nearly broke their installation by uninstalling Nemo. Additionally, it's gonna remove blueman, which I'm dependent on. Is there a way to get it to just not remove blueman in the process?

I'm looking to reinstall it because I have no idea of why the following has happened:

  1. My favorites have never been functional:
  2. Right-click any Nemo files/folders to add them to the favorites
  3. Click the star icon in the bottom-right system tray
  4. Whether I left-click or right-click any items in there, the star popup just closes with nothing else happening
  5. For some reason, Super+E no longer invokes Nemo, even though it still shows that it should according to the keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know why this may be? I don't remember what I may have done to cause this.

Some other unrelated matters:

  1. In the "Windows" settings' Alt-Tab switcher style, Icons and Icons and thumbnails are identical; the thumbnails are missing from the latter. Does anyone know how to fix this?
  2. The Welcome dialogue's "Help" tab's Matrix chat room's "Launch" button does nothing upon click, and I don't know why. Where does it point to?

Thanks for any guidance!

In Droid-ify, it's showing:

Version 4.4.20, 4/25/26
116.7 MB

Version 4.4.19, 3/31/26
57.0 MB

What gives? The third-to-last version was even slightly smaller. Is anyone else seeing this? I don't wanna update right now out of fear that the maintainer may have gotten hacked or something.

Feeling Finder according to Flathub is only 21 MiB, whereas its Software Manager entry says that its size is "973 MB to download, 3.2 GB of disk space required"... for an emoji picker, really? What gives? This has been concerning to me as I've been trying to conserve data as I don't have access to unlimited (high-speed) data.

In Linux Mint 22.3 'Zena', CopyQ claims to accept it in its preferences, but actually pressing Meta+V does nothing. KeePassXC red-highlights it and warns about it not working as a global hotkey. Why does Meta+(letter) not seem to do anything? I would like to use this instead of just Alt+(letter) if possible. Thanks for any help!
