Regardless of whether I type the address in, or select it from the drop down list of sites I visit frequently, no web address entered into the address bar will load. I hit the "enter" key and the green arrow and the address still won't load. Sites load from the bookmarks just fine and the Google search bar still works, it is only the address bar that is having the problem.

Hello ladyshalott, start firefox in Safe Mode and check it again, in Safe Mode window select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not see: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
