It used to be that in Firefox one could type almost anything in the "location bar" and it would give you a drop-down list of matches that you could scroll to, hit Enter, and be taken there without further intervention.

For the last couple of weeks the steps including hit Enter and subsequent are broken. The URL doesn't get transferred to the location bar and FF doesn't go to that site. Instead, all typed URL's there have to be entered twice (again after the failure).

I looked in About:Config and saw that "keyword.URL" was blank. Hmm. Maybe that's it. I used the google link given here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL Didn't help.

Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.
