Firefox's address bar drops down available web addresses whenever it was focused

[Chen Liang]

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi,

This is not really a bug, I just find it very annoying when I'm used to press "alt+d" and "tab" to go to search bar. Now firefox's address bar drops down a list of related addresses whenever it was focused. So when I press "tab", it will rotate between those addresses. I had to press "esc" to close the drop down, then "tab" to the search box. However, this does occur in a newly opened tab, because the address bar is empty, and there isn't any available choice.

I'm not sure this is a new feature or a miss programming. Is there anyway to reverse it back to the original stat?

Regards

Chen Liang (and anyone else affected),

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) reached end-of-life on April 10, 2012.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
