Address bar does not respond when typing URL and pressing enter. All other links are functioning well. I have used version 7, and upgrading to version 8 did not fix the problem

If you have "AVG Safe" or any other extension installed by "AVG Free" disable the extension, and follow the steps to remove the "Link Scanner" component from AVG during a reinstall -- see "Problematic extensions".

Probably not your problem but same areas:

Top of Firefox window non-responsive, toolbars non responsive -- also see Problematic extensions

Thanks NeoArc. Got it. Uninstalled the Ask toolbar, and it's working now.
