Are there any errors in the JS console?

This works for me using Mac/001091311 (0.9.4) on Mac OS 9.2.1. Reporter, does this 
happen using a newly-created profile?

Greg... Boris is onto something.

Mozilla is dead, interms of accepting enter for the url feild, if some error
exist that kills javascripts. I suspect this is what the case is for Gareth
(reporter). In which case it is very difficult to pin down the problem. I have
started up mozilla gone to a site with javascript and somehow it fails rest
mozilla go back and the problem no longer exist.

As evident with the clause "URL worked for a bit then died on me" I would also
tend to think mozilla went haywire and over wrote a few things it shouldn;t have
done. I think the proper course of action is to get a log of the last 5 or 6
pages visited before the error occured not to find a quick fix (the same fix
that solves every mozilla problem trash profiles and prefs and restart)

Riscky, okay, that sounds fine. The URLs should still be in your History. Take a look in 
there and see if you can find a way to reproduce this. Be sure to note URLs and any JS 
errors you encounter.

think this may be a dupe

I'm sure there are duplicates of this.
This seems to be new, with Mozilla 0.94 build 2001091311.
I use Mac OS 8.6.
Generally, the URL bar works, but stops accepting the Enter key, after I use the
url drop-
down history, or I minimize or remove the toolbar from view.
Also, the green "//" icon to the left, which lets you drag & drop the url,
disappears.
I tried to turn on a couple debugging options, to view JavaScript, but the
window goes into psychedelic colors. I was lucky to get back into normal mode.
Not sure if this is a debugging bug or feature.

Is anyone still encountering this? Have you had any success determining what page 
caused the behavior to start?

I was having this bug until I poked around, and found that deleting
localstore.rdf fixed it. If anyone wants my localstore.rdf file that was
"causing" this problem, please mail [e-mail]

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

could this be a dup of bug 90337, which was recently fixed? [well, fixed checked
in today. :)]

[Greg K.]

Good catch, Sairuh. Matthew, try the latest nightly and see if bug 90337's fix works for 
you.
