Hi! Since the upgrade to 59.0.1 64 bits: 1) Writing a google search or a site at the address bar and pressing Enter, does nothing. Pressing the arrow "go to the address in the location bar" have no result. 2) The about screen refers to "restart to update Firefox" but I did it 3 times and the message is still there. 3) In the Options, when I click at "Search" nothing happens. It still shows the General options. I can click on the other options and they appear normally. 4) Each time I restart Firefox, the last selected tab open with "Unespected response from server) perhaps a page refresh make it open normally. All other tabs open normally. 5) Start in save mode, makes firefox to freeze. Thank you

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

I think the main problem is that something blocked the search option (as I show in the image I uploaded). This is making the address bar not to work. I tried only disable all the add-ons and it does not work either

More information: If I write on the address bar: 1) Just the word test or test.com or www.test.com, nothing happens. 2) http://www.test.com or http://test.com it works, opening a site normally.
