Bug Description

Brand new install of Jaunty Netbook Remix (image downloaded on April 22nd).

Firefox address bar does not update/refresh. Here are some of the behaviors:

1- Type in a search on the built-in search
Result: Search result is displayed, however address bar is blank

2- Click on a link from the search result above
Result: New page is displayed, address bar is still blank

3- Type in an address (google.com)
Result: Google.com is displayed and address bar displays "google.com"

4- Click on a link from "google.com"
Result: The address bar does not update the new URL ("google.com" is still displayed) however the clicked link opens.

Update:

I am able to temporarily solve the problem by removing the address bar (View=>Toolbar=>Customize) and then re-adding it. However I get the following error when I open Firefox again:

==============================================
error installing toolbar:[Exception... "Node was not found" code: "8" nsresult: "0x80530008 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_FOUND_ERR)" location: "chrome://global/content/bindings/toolbar.xml Line: 259"]
