With the new Firefox 4: if i have multiple tabs open in one window, the navigation bar will only show one of those tab's address for all of the tabs when those should be completely different addresses. i.e. if i look at another tab in same window it has address for first tab, not new one. I'd like to be able to copy and paste the address sometimes. Please help.

A few possible causes.

The first is the file that stores details of browsing history and bookmarks is corrupt. For details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Another possible cause is an add-on interfering with the location bar. To test this, use the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

If you are not using the default theme, try switching to it. Some themes can cause this problem.
