can't load hand-typed urls

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After using firefox for a while and I have lots of tabs open (30-40 this time), I can't load new urls that I've typed into the location bar. Neither hitting enter, nor hitting the blue arrow "go to address in the location bar" works. Nor does opening a new tab and retyping the address. In fact, NO url works if it's pasted or typed into the location bar in ANY tab at this point. Only opening tabs from bookmarks or hitting refresh works.

I've experienced this with ubuntu's package: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 on Hardy Heron

I believe I've also experienced this on winXP with firefox3.

I have these extensions installed:
Adblock Plus
Better Gmail 2
CustomizeGoogle
Delicious boommarks
No Squint
ScribeFire
Ubuntu Firefox Modifications
URL Fixer

This sounds similar to bug 234953 but I think its still different.
