Works fine for me, albeit Windows; using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/4.0b13pre ID:20110303122446

Sorry, hit submit too soon.

Could you see if the issue occurs with a new, empty profile:

...or using the latest nightly:

OK, will try both of those thomorrow. Had the same problem on XP at work though. Oh, I do have that labs thing enabled, maybe it's that!

Right, I've tracked it down.  The problem is with the Instant Preview 3 extension (can this bug therefore be moved and re-prioritized as appropriate?): when it previews a page no star is drawn in the URL bar (whether it should be a filled star or an empty one), then when you press enter to select the page the URL bar stays the same.  If you click refresh the URL bar updates with the star.

Perhaps somebody can replicate this to confirm I've located the correct cause?

Have filed as an issue on the Instant Previews issue tracker here:
https://github.com/mozilla/prospector/issues/166

Marking this bug as resolved invalid, since not a bug in Firefox.

Thanks!
