[Bug 251649] Re: Firefox: Address line does not work
Thank you very much for the feedback. As stated in the last comment (by Alexander Sack), try to disable the extensions. A comfortable way to test if that works, could it be to use a new profile for this: Start Firefox by entering the following command is a terminal: firefox -ProfileManager. You should now see the Profile Manager window. Important note: From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles, if you created the profile in a directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed! Click on the 'Create Profile...' button to start the 'Create Profile Wizard'. Click 'Next' and enter a descriptive name for the new profile. Click Finish to have Firefox create the new profile. You should now be taken back to the Profile Manager and the newly created profile should be listed. Select it and click 'Start Firefox'. Try to reproduce the bug with this new profile. Note: you can go back to your own profile by starting Firefox using the command firefox -ProfileManager again, selecting your own profile, and clicking on 'Start Firefox'. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Firefox: Address line does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 251649] Re: Firefox: Address line does not work
I had similar problems, ubuntu 8.04, firefox 3.0.4. The URL (address) field and the search box were both not working, thus entering an URL or a search phrase followed by return just did nothing. The error console was full of errors. amongst them the error messages from the top of this bug report. On my system that was NOT a bug of firefox nor of ubuntu since the malfunction was related to a NFS failure. My client experienced some errors while connecting the NFS server (lockd, RPC handle error), thus there were problems accessing ~/.mozilla/firefox. It's not nice behaviour of firefox to throw these cryptic errors, since it was hard to see that the program could actually not ACCESS some ressources, but ok, it's all very complex nowadays Just a hint, check that firefox can access your homedir and everything it needs to Bests haris -- Firefox: Address line does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 251649] Re: Firefox: Address line does not work
I confirm this in Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit version with Firefox 3.0.4. Many a times writing the URL in address bar and pressing enter does not respond! Also, I have found that if I choose to restart firefox after installing/updating some add-on, the firefox process keeps running and the window does not re-appear. I need to manually kill the process and start firefox again. Then it restores my previous windows/tabs. Same happens if I quit firefox (File > Quit). But this may be a different bug altogether and not related to the current issue under discussion. -- Firefox: Address line does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm this problem, it seem to happen at random times. As Oernie said, it can be fixed by restarting Firefox but also by opening a new Firefox window. Note that this is not a Ubuntu bug because I have the exact same problem on Windows XP at work ! -- Firefox: Address line does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 251649] Re: Firefox: Address line does not work
I have a very similar problem: Sometimes when I write or copy a URL into the address field and then press ENTER, Firefox does not react. I have to close and restart Firefox to get rid of this problem. In contrast to Björn, this problem occurs only from time to time on my machines, I do not have many add-ons installed, and there is no output on the “Error Console” (“Fehlerkonsole”) when I press ENTER. I have noticed this on three different machines. All have Kubuntu 8.04 installed (one update from older Kubuntus, two fresh installs). This morning I have updated Firefox 3.0 to version 3.0.1 using the usual Kubuntu update procedure, but I this problem occurred again. -- Firefox: Address line does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
