User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061208 Iceweasel/3.0.6 (Debian-3.0.6-1)

This is similar to but not the same as:  Bug #376084 -  Clicking or Pressing enter after entering URL in address bar doesn't work. (caused by old version of Delicious add-on)

When having the profile directory on a file system lacking file locking this happens.  There are no addons loaded, safe-mode shows same behaviour.

The problem occured with a Lustre filesystem lacking option flock or localflock.  So I guess this bug report is actually on the error checking for this condition and not so much about the address bar.

1.Enter URL
2.Press Enter or click 'go' button.
Actual Results:

Loading the URL.
