Hey, I've just got version 5.0. When links open in new window URL bar is empty! It says "Go to website...". Although I do see the page open in this window. So, if I want to bookmark or copy this URL I can not! A lot of services now routinely open links in new windows. I am having trouble constantly. This was not a problem in previous version (4 something)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
