Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Anything I type into the address bar is ignored, and the address stays there, no matter what tab I'm browsing. Links in pages work, but anything else typed into the address bar is ignored.

Firefox 3.0.10

Addons installed:
Redshift v3
Adblock Plus
Tab Mix Plus
Tiny Menu

I tried disabling them, nothing resolves the issue.

Many bad Firefox behaviors are in fact caused by one of the many third-party 'themes', 'extensions' and 'plugins'. These will go away with a new profile - that is, when Firefox is restored to default settings and without any extensions and themes. You do not need to delete your old profile to test.
Could you please try with a new profile and see if your issue is resolved?

If a new profile does solve your issue, could you please try to add back your extensions 1 by 1 to see which one is causing the trouble?
Also, could you please try with the latest release of Firefox 3.0?
Thanks!
