After updating Firefox on Linux Mint to 57.0.1 I can't use search bar nor adress bar to make fast searches. When i type the phrase i want to search and click enter in adress bar it just "loads" all day long. In search engine enter does not work the same goes to the arrow i click it and its not working to use search in google i need to type whole google adress than i cant use google search. I got allowed the searching in adress bar in about:cconfig. Before update it all was searching smoothly.
