Hey guys, since updating to 20.0 (also happens now on 20.0.1) every time I type an URL on the awesome bar it adds a  : 1] to the end and fails.

For example, if I type www.google.com , firefox changes to www.google.com : 1] when I press ENTER and it says it can't find the site. If I go and delete the ":1]" and press ENTER again it works.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
