This happens very often (not every time) I open Firefox: there is no address in the address bar (normally, I would have my homepage address) and the back and forth arrows do not work until I open a new tab. It's a very odd behavior that lasts for a while every time I open a new browser page and causes crashes sometimes... I have saved the error console message if you need to see it. Thanks!

Hi,

Add-ons can sometimes cause odd behavior in the Firefox UI. If you have any installed, you can try disabling them and seeing if this resolves your issue. You can do so from Tools > Add-ons. In particular, the Illimitux add-on is experimental and has some known issues. Let me know by replying to this message if you have more questions. Thanks for using Firefox.
