When I type an address to the awesome bar in minefield 3.7a6pre, first it doesn't show any suggestions based on what I'm typing, and second, I can't use the Enter key to accept that address and load its page. Instead I'm forced to click the GO button at the end of the awesome bar to access the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type an address to the awesome bar (eg. www.mozilla.org)
2.press enter to accept the address
Actual Results:  
nothing. the page didn't load.

Expected Results:  
load the web page assigned to that address

this bug has appeared before in previous builds of minefield, but it was fixed in later builds. this occurs with all themes.

So, this doesn't appear anymore in the most recent build?

indeed, it's fixed. I've been using this build for 8 hours and no problems so far.
