the main go-to doesn't. I can type a url in, but can'y go to it . how do i fix this?
I'm using windows 7. Since updating Firefox, my address bar no longer works. I type in an addy click or hit enter and nothing happens. I try the same with the frequently-used addys that drop down. nothing happens. The only way I have found to get anywhere is to type an address in search, then find the correct one from those listed. Then clicking or entering does work. Also on pages I can click on a link and go to it. It just seems to be the address bar. ARRG! Please help.
I did uninstall Firefox, download again and reinstall hoping that would work. It didn't :(

Try right clicking on the Go/Refresh button > Customize > Restore defaults down at the bottom.
Does the button light up when you mouse over it?
What plug-ins / add-ons do you have? (about:addons)
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
