Windows 7 Firefox Search Bar/Addy Bar Bug?

[hLVE]

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I've recorded a quick video of the issue.

I'm running in Windows 7 x64 Build 7600, and using Firefox 3.5.3.

Basically, if you can't see the video - My firefox is breaking. I'm unsure of what the culprit is, but just recently (unsure of exact date,) whenever I opened firefox my address bar and search engine bar was completely disabled. I've tried reinstalling (clean reinstall, deleting all profile data etc-) and I can't find a fix. Whenever I run into this issue, sometimes all I need to do is open a bookmark to get the search bar and address bar to work again, but sometimes I need to restart/log off to fix this issue. I've tried not only completely reinstalling Firefox, but creating new profiles in the slight chance that my computer was just trying to piss me off.

Nothing though. Anyone else have this issue/know someone who has and has fixed it?

It looks like you're encountering an issue with Firefox on Windows 7 x64 Build 7600, where the address bar and search engine bar become disabled at times. This kind of behavior can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to address it. Here are some suggestions to help resolve this issue: 1. Update Firefox and Extensions: - Make sure that both Firefox and your installed extensions are up to date. Older versions of Firefox or extensions might have compatibility issues with your system. 2. Safe Mode: - Try running Firefox in Safe Mode to troubleshoot if any of the installed extensions or themes are causing the problem. You can enter Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key while starting Firefox. 3. Troubleshoot Extensions: - Disable all extensions and then enable them one by one to identify if any particular extension is causing the issue. Sometimes conflicts between extensions can cause such problems. 4. Reset Firefox: - You can try resetting Firefox to its default settings. This will remove your extensions and themes but will retain your bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, and cookies. 5. Check for Malware: - Run a thorough malware scan on your system as malicious software can sometimes interfere with browser functionality. 6. Check Keyboard Shortcuts: - Ensure that there are no conflicting keyboard shortcuts that might be disabling the address bar and search engine bar. 7. Check System Resources: - Verify that your system resources are not being overwhelmed, as low memory or high CPU usage can sometimes lead to unusual browser behavior. 8. Reinstall Firefox: - If none of the above steps work, consider uninstalling Firefox, deleting any leftover files, and then reinstalling it. Given your list of extensions and plugins, none of them stand out as known culprits for causing such issues. If you continue to experience problems after trying these steps, feel free to share any new developments or details, and we can explore further options to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
