Hello jdevlin,

Would you try this please :

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

keyword.enabled and set its value to false

Then close and restart Firefox.

Just to "cover all bases" you could also check the value of this preference :

browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches (make sure its set to false)

Neither one fixed it. Just as an example to be clear of what is happening. If I type "about:config" and hit 'enter' nothing happens. I must go the green arrow and click with my mouse.

I have also discovered that using CNTRL-ENTER no longer insets the www. and .com like previous versions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

• switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
• do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

It works in safe mode.

The following addons are installed Adblckplus Easy youtube video downloader new tab override no script open in chrome video download helper

and a chrome.css mod to get tabs below address bar.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing the problem by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via one of these:

• "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
• Windows: File -> Exit
• Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
• Linux: File -> Quit

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

• hardware acceleration is disabled (Options/Preferences -> General -> Performance)
  *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings
• all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
• default theme is used (no lightweight theme)
• default toolbar layout is used
• xulstore.json is ignored
• userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder in profile folder)
• JavaScript JIT compilers are disabled

It appears to be the tabs on bottom userchrome.css mod that is causing the issue. Thanks I will have to look into an update.

problem resolved. The issue was not the tabs on bottom. It was in the classic theme restore portion of the userchrome.css.
