After upgrading to Firefox 17.0.1 text cannot be entered in either the URL bar, the search bar, or any text boxes/input fields/forms on webpages. When the text field is clicked the cursor is positioned properly and blinks but typing generates no text.

Hello hj21c1yg, check it in Safe Mode, in Safe Mode window select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not see: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Try to open a new window if you can't enter text in the location bar in the current window.
