Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

After I upgraded firefox, when I press enter either in the location bar or in the search box, nothing happens. I can't open a link from the dropdown in the "awesome" bar either. Clicking in the history sidebar and in bookmarks work.

This was working in the build for Feb 16, but Feb 17 update had the problem. As stated the bookmarks work fine, but the location bar does not. Typing into the location bar shows a list of matches as it should, but selecting one will not browse to the location. Also related is that the browser no longer goes to my home page on startup.

Possibly related is that the search engine tool no longer has any search engines, and the "Manage search engine" functionality is broken. The manage search engine window comes up, but none of the buttons or links work, not even the cancel button. The only way to close it is using the window manager close.
