There is a bug report about it not working when tabs are on top. You can use the keyboard shortcut Control+L to go to the address bar.

An alternative is to use the F6 add-on to restore this functionality - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/f6

Right on Tony.. I changed to tabs below like it used to be, which is the way I want it anyway since I usually run Winamp at the top which cover the tabs and F6 works now.. Thanks!

Dave, How do you move the tabs below?... That's been driving me crazy too!

Right-click on a toolbar, then click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

F6 then Tab works - it's a shame there is an extra click for an old function, however, if we complain enough I'm sure it'll be changed, and that's better than having to download additional add-ons!
