@skierpage
It is fixed in mozilla-central nightlies and will be fixed for 3.6 beta 1 (it landed on that branch yesterday).

Sadly, you are the only report I’ve seen like that. I’m not really sure what’s up, and it’s really hard to debug without being able to reproduce it. I want to look into it more next week though.

Woo! I certainly haven’t hit that bug since it was fixed. Pressing enter does what I expect it to. Whether the async changes have made a difference or not I haven’t noticed though, searching never really seemed to lock up the browser for me anyway.

Sadly, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509854 still stands :-/
Any feedback from other users affected by the described issues are highly welcome :)

I think I’ve seen those “weird race conditions” in 3.7a1pre nightlies. I would paste a URL or choose something from awesomebar results using arrow keys and the [Enter] key, go to another tab, and upon returning to the first tab find an unexpected URL, or that the URL wasn’t loaded. My brain is way ahead of the loading so I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong.

When you say “We landed”, “now we do X” and “problem solved”, it would help to indicate which tree(s) have the problem and the fix. Was this fixed August 27th for nightly FF builds?

Thanks for all you do.
