With 33.0, why can't I directly enter a URL in the Address Box ?

Up to 32.0.3 (I'm scrupulous about explicitly downloading Firefox updates manually), all was more or less okay. I first encountered the issue w/ my primary PC under Windows 7, when last week I noticed that I couldn't type an URL into the box and go directly to that site. Now, I've performed the updates on three other PCs and with two of them I had the presence of mind to test this issue. On a Lubuntu (Linux) PC and another Windows 7 box, the Address box becomes inert **after** the 33.0 update and NO OTHER CHANGES (to Adobe Flash, Firefox settings, whatever.)

In order to manually enter an URL, one must type the address into the Run box which works on both environments. If the current tab is blank, then Firefox will use that. Otherwise, Firefox will open a new tab to visit the site. This behavior has been confirmed on both platforms.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

I feel like such a schmuck for not thinking of this (ie. an addon conflict), but I've been using Firefox for SO long with this suite of extensions, it simply didn't dawn me. Anyway, the culprit was "Tab Utilities Phoenix", which I will report to the developer, so he can deal with this. Thanx again....
