Text Selection in Web Browser?

When using a web browser (Chrome/Firefox etc) I have the ability to make the text cursor appear wherever I click using the mouse/trackpad. For example, I can select the side of this text box and a text cursor (the size of the box) will appear. Basically wherever there is text, if I click on it using the default cursor, or the text selector cursor, the flashing text indicator will appear. Normally you can click and drag using the text selector cursor, but the flashing indicator does not appear. How do I control/disable this?
