Double-Click Behavior in the LSL Wiki

Double-clicking on any page in the LSL Wiki (http://secondlife.com/badgeo/) sends you to some annoying edit page (Firefox). Since the Wiki is the best reference material we have available this is VERY ANNOYING! I've never run into a web page (even a Wiki) that does that before. Is there any way we can get that behavior done away with so that a quick double-click ctrl-c can be used to copy?

Apart from its use in copying constant and function names, double-clicking is a valuable reading aid when scanning, both to quickly highlight successive sentence fragments and to hit important keywords when speedreading. Not only does this constantly send you to the edit page, but something in the pages seems to cripple browser history, so when you DO wind up at that edit page, the back button always sends you to the TOP of the previous page and you have to scroll around and find your place again.
