I just got Firefox 14 and I'm noticing one annoyance (bug?):

If you visit a website, for example: http://www.facebook.com (let the site load).

Then type a new website in the address bar, example: http://www.twitter.com

Then hit enter, the URL in the address changes back to facebook.com while twitter.com is loading.

I find this pretty annoying because you don't really know if it "took" your new address and if it is actually loading the new address.

I'm not seeing this issue on my computer. You can try running this in Safe Mode to see if an add-on is causing this behavior. Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode
