Especially for people coming from Windows it may be confusing to see the address bar not behaving the same way on linux it does on Windows. On Windows you are able to jump to stop characters like slash or dot with Ctrl + left or right. This is not the default on Linux. To enable this, just go to about:config and set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true. That’s all!

Another shot: The backspace behaviour is also different on Linux systems than it is on Windows. On Windows hitting the backspace is the same as history back, on Linux it is the same as page up. To change it to history back go to about:config and set browser.backspace_action to 0. Groovy!
