Since upgrading to firefox-3.0, double-click-to-highlight behavior has
changed. Double-clicking a word doesn't highlight the entire word any
more, it stops at dashes and underscores. Does anyone know how to
change this behavior?

I don't remember it ever working any other way. Seamonkey and Firefox
both behave the same on linux & windows in my test just now.

Found it for you. Go to about:config

layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation
