I am having the problem described by this other user. Before upgrading, if I singled clicked in the URL bar, it highlighted the string, usually https://www.google.ca and I could type my search there. After some recent upgrade I now have to double click in the URL bar to highlight all then begin typing. I tried this suggestion and it didn't do anything. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1168290

Did you check the related prefs?

  • browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll
  • browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
