User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Build ID: 20170307111623 Steps to reproduce: This has been happening for a few weeks in the Nightly branch. It is a regression since the issue wasn’t there before. I understand it’s caused only with a non-default setting which is as far as I know only adjustable in about:config, but the issue is quite bothersome for users who set it like this. * Set `browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab` to `false`. * Close tabs until you only have one empty one in one window. * Try to use the address bar. Actual results: * It doesn’t work. You can type in it, but nothing happens when pressing Enter. No suggestion from the AwesomeBar appear either. Expected results: * It should work like in any other tabs, like it worked before. `closeWindowWithLastTab` is a useful setting when you want to start a clean browsing session by just pressing ctrl+W until there’s only one tab left. With a non-functional address bar, it’s not possible to start doing anything without opening a second new tab.
