User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170125094131

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1: Open a tab. Navigate to any webpage, e.g., cnn.com
Step 2: Open another tab. Navigate to a different webpage, e.g., facebook.com
Step 3: Return to first tab. Hit "enter" in address bar.


Actual results:

Firefox loads the URL that was entered in the second tab (in this example, Facebook), rather than the URL in the address bar of the first tab.


Expected results:

Firefox should load the URL already listed in the address bar of the first tab (in the example, CNN).
On reviewing the report-writing guidelines I realize my use of the word "navigate" is imprecise. By "navigate", I mean: type the given URL into the address bar and press Enter.
Have you run http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox ? I had a similiar bug caused by an add-on --> Bug 1248120
gpuleo, is it reproducible:

1) in safe mode:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

2) with a fresh profile:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
Component: Untriaged → Location Bar
Flags: needinfo?(gpuleo)
I can reliably reproduce the bug in safe mode. I was initially able to reproduce the bug on a fresh profile (outside of safe mode), but unable to reproduce it after trying safe mode on a fresh profile, and after switching back to non-safe mode, could not reproduce the bug reliably on the fresh profile.
I'm having same bug and can also reproduce in Safe Mode.

it's missing a step here, how did you select the address bar? Just moving to a different tab doesn't focus it.

I have observed this bug both when clicking in the address bar to select it, and when using Ctrl-L to select the address bar.
It would be nice to have a way to reproduce this easily, as it is sounds like something really intermittent, and I've never hit it.

did you use ctrl+enter to visit the first page, by chance?
I did, yes. Also happens after Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift+Enter for net and org.

Do we have clear STRs?

STR:
1) Type "example" in the location bar and press Ctrl+Enter
NB: Firefox loads http://www.example.com/
2) Click on the link "More information..."
NB: Firefox loads http://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
3) Select the location bar and press Enter.

Result: Firefox reloads http://www.example.com/ instead of http://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
