If I click in the URL bar it auto-selects the entire url. If I then hit the right arrow key to move the cursor to the end of the url, it auto-inserts a trailing slash (/). How can I disable this?

Depends on what you are trying accomplish.
Click once on the url then right or control click for a menu.
Let's say I have this in the URL bar: website.com/?foo=bar
If I click in the empty space to the right of the URL it will select / highlight the whole URL.
If I then press the right arrow key on the keyboard to bring the cursor to the end of the URL (after 'bar'), a slash is auto-inserted.
I don't want this to happen.
Safari 6 is very developer unfriendly:
1. Automatically adding a trailing slash where it does not belong
2. Hiding the http part of the URL then adding it to the clipboard when I DID NOT select it when I copied the URL
3. The extremely useful Acitivy window is gone. You have to open the inspector BEFORE you load the page otherwise it will not capture the resource. It takes 10 clicks what used to be just 2.
4. Unified URL/Search bar
Sadly Apple always knows best and does not give options to developers. Frustrating! Opera manages the URL bar a hundred times better.
