Firefox: Address line does not work
Problem:
When I put a web address such as “http://
Furthermore, no searching engines are available in the search button next to the address line.
The error was (probably) caused by the installation of ICQ Toolbar 1.1.4.
Errors shown in the “Error Console” (“Fehlerkonsole”):
Fehler: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_

Warnung: Ende des Wertes für die Eigenschaft erwartet, aber '.' gefunden. Fehler beim Verarbeiten des Wertes für Eigenschaft 'font'. Deklaration ignoriert.

These are the things I did before the error appeared:
I installed several add-ons to Firefox:
Customize Google
URL fixer
Google Toolbar
ICQ Toolbar
Yahoo Toolbar
(I have Windows XP next to Ubuntu on my PC where Firefox works with all these add-ons correctly.)
I updated my Ubuntu 8.04 System, Firefox was upgraded from Version 3 Beta 5 to Version 3.0.
This is how I tried to solve the problem:
I deactivated and uninstalled all the add-ons I had installed before.
I started Firefox in safe-mode and reset to default values.
I completely uninstalled the Firefox-3.0-package from my Ubuntu system and re-installed it.
However without success.
I do not know how to solve this problem!!! Please help me.
I looked for the cause of the error. I did a test on the Ubuntu-8.04-Live-CD and found out:
The error appeared right after I had installed ICQ Toolbar 1.1.4 !
So the add-on ICQ Toolbar 1.1.4 had caused the error. The problem cannot be solved by uninstalling ICQ Toolbar.
(Customize Google, URL fixer and Yahoo Toolbar were okay. Google Toolbar could not be installed as the add-on is not compatible with the beta-version Firefox 3 Beta 5.)

I have a very similar problem: Sometimes when I write or copy a URL into the address field and then press ENTER, Firefox does not react. I have to close and restart Firefox to get rid of this problem. In contrast to Björn, this problem occurs only from time to time on my machines, I do not have many add-ons installed, and there is no output on the “Error Console” (“Fehlerkonsole”) when I press ENTER. I have noticed this on three different machines. All have Kubuntu 8.04 installed (one update from older Kubuntus, two fresh installs). This morning I have updated Firefox 3.0 to version 3.0.1 using the usual Kubuntu update procedure, but I this problem occurred again.
