1417952 - Website does'nt get loaded right away when typing in an address or search term

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[sahra.teichmann]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20171116100106

Steps to reproduce:

a) use a fresh install of 59.0a1 (2017-11-16) on linux from arch AUR (mentioning because branch 59 is not listed on the bug report site) 
(right after opening it the first time i was logged on  however and some addons were loaded, also my bookmarks were available. It was as if i just opened the normal firefox) 
b) open a new tab
c). Type one of these in the address bar:
     1) a search term 
     or
     2) an address to visit
d) press enter / click right arrow




Actual results:

Tab doesn't load the website. Title is still about:newtab. An (loading? ) animation is visible on that tab.
I need to press enter once again in the address bar to actually load the website.
After that, repeating steps c) and d) on that tab works as expected.


Expected results:

Website should have started to load in the moment  i pressed enter /clicked the arrow the first time.

I have tested that steps in safe mode, it didn't show that behavior there. 
I then went to about:support and  reset firefox.  Odd behavior is gone now.
I assume my profile was the issue here.
I've posted too impulsively , my bad.
