Open multiple tabs the url shown in url pane does'nt change but stays which has entered latest one. the url pane text wont change even when you swap to another tab.

A couple of possible causes:

First check to see if an add-on is causing this, add-ons can cause problems with the location bar not updating. For details of how to check this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

The second possible cause is a problem with the file that stores details of bookmarks and browsing history. I don't think this will be the cause in your case, as if there is a problem with that file you will normally get multiple problems.
