selecting text in Firefox 3

Firefox 3 has an awesome new way to select text that allows you to select multiple non-consecutive pieces of text. Using this feature, you can make multiple selections and copy/move/paste them all in one shot. To make use of this new feature you need to make use of the Control key. If the Control key is pressed when you are selecting text in Firefox 3, the previous text selections are *not* cleared as they usually are. This allows you to select as much text as you like.
