This is a feature I used quite often that doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm not sure if it's a setting or caused by firefox updating, but when I'm filling out a URL and suggestions come up in the drop down menu I click one of them and the URL just sits in my address bar. It doesn't go to the webpage. It waits for me to click enter first. I don't like this at all. It used to go to the web page simply by me clicking the suggestion. How can I make it do that again? It will go to to some web pages as soon as I click the suggestion but most of the time the URL will just sit in my address bar waiting for further instruction.

I've just reverted back to firefox 6.0 and it doesn't do this anymore. this is definitely a firefox 7.0 problem.
