I rarely use it as just hitting the F5 key is faster for me but haven't noticed any problems. Using FF15

From looking at other forums it possibly is an addon that is causing the problem.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I haven't noticed that problem, but I did notice that it remembers typed urls as predictive text in the address bar, unless it set it to remember nothing (bookmarks and history). Clearing history has no effect. Even after c cleaner.

And if you set it to remember bookmarks again your typed urls reappear.

i noticed Firefox adds on a different search bar depending which download mirror is used. One time i got yahoo, one time i got search-it (i think), and this one had google.
