User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0
Steps to reproduce:
Manually updated Nightly to 68.0a1 (2019-05-05) (64-bit) - by downloading the installer and running it. I was on 68.0a1 (2019-05-02) (64-bit).
Tried to visit a site, by typing the url in the address bar
Actual results:
nothing happened. Hitting the "enter" button did nothing. Also, when I start typing, normally the address bar starts matching the input text to my browsing history, and display matches below the address bar. That didn't happen either.
Expected results:
I should be able to visit sites by typing their address in the address bar.
If I type the scheme (https, or http) on the address bar, like so https://mozilla.com, then am able to navigate to a site.
Not if I just type mozilla.com.
Also, the lack of history-results, while I type, continues. I do see my browsing history, on Ctrl + H.
In Options, I enabled this option "Prevent accessibility services from accessing your browser". The browser restarted, and now I can use the address bar as before. Problem solved. Not sure what the cause was though.

Did you update Nightly in the meantime, without noticing it? There was a new build that should have fixed the issue.
I'm guessing is a dupe of bug 1549075 at this point.
