User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0
Build ID: 20170524180630

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set a master password and close Firefox.
2. Start Firefox and before the master password prompt appears, give focus to the address bar (ctrl+l) and wait for the prompt to appear.
3. Master password prompt appears and automatically gets focused, don't provide the password and close it with Esc.
4. Focus returns to the address bar, type anything and hit enter - nothing happens.


Actual results:

The address bar became unresponsive - suggestions (e.g. for bookmarks) are not displayed and hitting enter after inserting any text does nothing. If new tab is opened, its address bar behaves as expected.


Expected results:

The address bar should react to the input even after the master password prompt appeared.

Tom, does this still reproduce using a current version?

Nah, works as expected in the current version. Guess that's a good thing :-)
Out of curiosity, is there a delay set on when the master password dialogue appears? It always takes few seconds no matter how powerful the computer. It often catches me in the middle of entering stuff in the address bar which is a little annoying.
