When Places is corrupt or locked by third party software the urlbar may not be able to use it, thus it won't produce a properly heuristic result and we'll fallback to a straight search or visit.
In some cases the user may not even notice it because maybe they don't use history or bookmarks at all, or may wonder why bookmarks are broken but not connect that to urlbar problems.
We can't easily distinguish access lock from corruption though, nor there is a single solution to suggest, so it may be a bit tricky to figure out what's the right action to take.
