1429010 - Enter button not working in address bar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[anydoby]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20180106205129

Steps to reproduce:

Go to address bar, enter 2 words (usually it results in a google search), press enter.


Actual results:

Nothing happened. If I click an arrow button to the right the tab is cleaned and there is a dot jumping from left to the right. So the search is broken. If I enter one word without spaces a website opens with the www prefixed, so looks like ff now has difficulty with spaces in the address bar, does not understand that this is a search.


Expected results:

A google search page should be displayed with the results.

Also, while entering the text I get search suggestions, but when I click on any or select with nav keys and press enter the browser does not navigate there.

Nice resolution :) I resolved it by force setting my Linux to only use FF 45, ignoring the newer versions. When that stops working I'll probably just go with Chrome.
