However it’s still a completely bizarre option for the Ubuntu build to set by default (reproduced on three other machines so it’s not just me), and I found it very hard to search anything that might have been related.

I’ll try harder to come up with things that bother me in the future :)

Neither Bugzilla or Launchpad will have anything on your issue since it is a pref setting. <br/><br/>Set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true. <br/><br/>Oh and btw, if you are still wondering about the flash and greasemonkey problems you wrote about a while back, check my comment: http://philwilson.org/blog/2007/03/things-i-cant-do-in-firefox-without.html#6034922099684275089<br/><br/>Keep up the good work on the blog, I really enjoyed your wife's poem. Phil, I enjoy reading your blog, but you really have to come up with some better complaints about firefox under ubuntu.

Set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true.
