I type the address into Firefox address bar and hit enter but nothing happens. Firefox does not even try to load the website I've requested. The only way I can use the browser is to use google (was set as my home page) and type in there the site I want.

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