Yes, IE does that as well.
In fact, my IE is currently set to be as such.
Firebird with the Pinball themese is just prettier though. Plus, there's the mini-Googlebar.
To select text in the address bar, you need to first de-select it's selection. (does this make sense? :P) Click once to focus, click twice to deselect, then you can click-and-drag to select text.
Of course, unless I want to visit a .ca, .net, or .org address, I simply go with the Alt-D and Ctrl+Enter combo.
Say I want to visit the Lounge without going to the Favorites -- or rather Booksmarks -- menu.
Alt-D, type in "lurkerlounge", Ctrl+Enter, and voila! Firebird adds in "http://www." and ".com" automatically for you. IE does this as well, but I didn't find out about it untill I was playing around with Firebird.
