I cannot navigate using the address bar (pressing enter or clicking the arrow).
I'm using Gentoo Linux.
In a fresh Firefox install (I've tryed versions 68, 77 and binary) I cannot navigate using the address bar (pressing enter or clicking the arrow).
It's and old bug: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1070786
But the solution described there doens't work. I removed the places.sqlite file and tried to restart firefox in safe mode without success. This only happened to me in Gentoo. Even removed the profile folder entirely. I don't have extensions.
Any ideas?

Are you currently using a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution?
Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server:
Hello. Thanks for your reply.
Indeed, I'm using a version from Gentoo's repositories. The source is downloaded from Mozilla's ftp and it's compiled afterwards, but the binary version haven't worked either.
I called for more help.
