I have at least one tab. I open a new one either by CTRL+T or double-click in the tab area. The focus goes automatically the the adress bar (good). I type wharever URL there and it does not get opened in the new tab, but in the previous one!!

Then I can navigate back an forth by clicking in the navigation buttons and the actions are performed in the previous tab as well.

XP in English, Firefox in Spanish.

Google bar Beta 5 was causing the problem. Rolled back to the latest stable version and problem gone!!
