If you are on Windows, Mozilla apparently removed the option for it (browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll) when they were optimizing the code. The last time I checked around, as I also get annoyed by it, everything pretty much said the switch will never come back
There was however a sort of hack that involved playing around with one of the config files in the program folders. I'm not sure if it persists through updates or even works still though.
