Description

[Tyler Nienhouse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041514 Firefox/3.0b5

When I enter a page into the URL bar it doesn't change until I enter another,even if I click on a link. If I open a link in a new tab, it shows that URL but again when I click on a link in that page, the URL bar still shows the original URL until I enter another.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox

Thats it. It always acts like this.
Actual Results:  
Firefox still has the issue.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should show the URL of the current page, but it doesn't. It only shows the most recent URL I have entered into it. If I don't enter an URL manually it will show no URL at all.

Theme: Default
I am using Kubuntu 8.04 beta. The beta version is the only one available in the repositories.

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Welcome
Firefox is shared between Ubuntu and WinXp. On XP it has made some updates and after that there are few strange behaviours.
When I navigate, url in navigation bar stays still, it doesn't change after going to other page. When I write url there - this url stays to moment I write the next one.

your comment is useless because this is in 90% an addon issue.
