Firefox tabs become inactive, opening a new tab opens a new untitled tab, inputing the url and hitting enter does nothing. the World icon in the url field is grayed out. Clicking on the go button arrow doesn't do anything also. This usually happens when alot of tabs are opened. restarting firefox solves this. But this is starting to happen alot. the only way togo to a url is to click with the mouse on a url from the dropdown list or from any link on a website.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Dont have a step to reproduce it. it happens randomly.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Inactive untitled tabs. cannot use new tabs.

Expected Results:  
Let you input the url, enter go to the url.

i have firebug installed, Delicious plugin installed.

Have you tried:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstall in a new empty folder?
