From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 BuildID: 20011120 Sometimes after launching Mozilla I can't type requested URL -- URL bar is "frozen". I can still select all the text using mouse but unable to edit/delete it. URLbar never gets "focus". Ctrl+Shift+L is the only work-around that helps. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. open mozilla 2. try to type URL Actual Results: URL edit box is "read only" and cannot be edited, it also can not get "focus" Expected Results: No problems with entering desired URL in URL edit box similar to bug #90337 tabbed interface on, quick launch on
It might be a duplicate of bug 107871. Is that your problem?
Extract of a newer comment from the reporter: "Bug is similar. The difference is: I can not edit URL bar even when I close Mozilla and open it again. No tabs. (I use "quick launch" so mozilla.exe stays in memory all the time and "bug may be still alive")". Jacek, you referred to tabbed interface, that's why I mentioned 107871. Take a look at bug 111250 and bug 82534. If you have another window already open and operational, write something on its url bar. Return to the window with the frozen url bar. Is it working now? If yes, likely it is bug 82534. Until you find a 100% reproducible test case, we are just guessing...
Jacek, do you have mail&news open when you see that (or set preference for launching browser and mail together) ?
I've also seen this bug. No mail/news, no tabs. I would start Mozilla, try to enter a URL and nothing happens. click on a bookmark from My Sidebar would work, but could never manually enter an address.
I see the same behaviour under mac os X and Mozilla 0.9.8. The location sometimes can be selected but can not be edited.
Jacek, did you try to erase localstore.rdf (in your profile directory)?
