After viewing certain pages with active content and typing another URL into the location bar the original page reloads itself. I've had this happen on two pages; elibrary.mel.org and oracle.com.

Reproduction of the problem is as follows: 1) goto oracle.com 2) do a search on something 3) goto another URL (like google.com) via the location bar (same tab) R) result is a reload of the search results page

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
