Try "removing the autocomplete.xpt file from your Firefox components directory,
for example C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components"

Does it fix  your issue?

Stopped Firefox, removed autocomplete.xpt component, restarted Firefox
=> same result

Rebooted
=> problem gone. Clicking url now also highlights URL (as on fx 1.0)

==>> Happy bunny!

Thanks for the workaround. I'm looking forward to 1.0.2
