Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Happens after using Firefox for several minutes and opening several tabs.

1) Have you tried safe mode?

2) Does the enter key work?  Once you enter a url in the location bar, can you hit enter to go there?

Comment 2

[Jon Henshaw]

1) I haven't tried safe mode, but I will.

2) The "enter" key doesn't work. Pressing the "enter" key or clicking on the "go" button does nothing.

I've also seen this with 3.0RC3 on Windows XP.  Hitting enter or clicking on the arrow will fail to navigate, but if I use a bookmark I'm OK, and opening a new window restores the behavior of the location bar.  I've not tried safe mode yet myself, but I'll give it a try this morning.

combee: did you try safe mode?

Comment 7

[Ben Combee (:bcombee)]

so far, I've not seen it happen in safe mode, but I'm going to run more today and see what occurs.  I suspect it could be the del.icio.us add-on, as that does toolbar stuff.
