This started a day after I installed this version.  I think it was working up until I pressed the HELP key on the keyboard.  I closed Mozilla completely then re-opened it.  I can type the URL but the enter key doesn't send it.  I can only go to what's in the history pulldown and bookmarks.  I notice that the "search google" line that appears below the URL bar doesn't appear unless I type "http://".  Backspacing this out then typing something like "yahoo" won't make the search line appear.  If I type something like "http://www.yahoo.com", I see the the search line.  Pressing RETURN will make the search line go away, but the request for the page doesn't get sent.I didn't reboot the computer yet, but I will try soon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla.2. Type a URL.3. Press return key.  (it will work)4. Press help key. (above del key) (I did this once, the problem happens every time).5. Type another URL.6. Press return key (either key).  It doesn't send the request.
Actual Results:  
I can't go to the webpage I typed in.

Expected Results:  
Send the request for the page I typed in.

all info above is what I've seen.
Reporter:
Can you please locate the file history.dat in your mozilla profile (see the
release notes for the profile path) and rename/delete the file history.dat while
mozilla isn't running ?
