Everytime I type a url in the url bar, it does absolutely nothing whether I press ENTER, click the blue arrow, choose a link from the drop-down menu, or even the PASTE and Go option via copy/paste. I've restarted the browser and computer, disabled add-ons, and uninstalled and reinstalled but there's no solving this problem. If any details are needed, here they are:
Operating system:
Windows 10 Home
Browser version:
Whichever the current version of Pale Moon is.
32-bit or 64-bit browser?:
64-bit
Problem URL:
All of them
Browser theme (if not default):
Default
Installed add-ons:
Adblock Latitude
uBlock Origin
Linkificaton
nMatrix
Installed plugins: (about:plugins):
Silver Light (version as of October 2018)

Re: The URL bar doesn't work
Try creating a 2nd 'clean' profile and use that to confirm the url bar works normally with the browser in its 'out of the box' state i.e with no extensions added and no other changes. Suspect you have some odd conflict or setup problem with extensions?
If no joy then, you may have an internet connection problem... anti-virus or firewall blocking Pale Moon?

Re: The URL bar doesn't work
Funny enough, I just did exactly that right before you replied. I even backed up the bookmarks (too many to lose). And yeah, the url bar works. Although I pretty much figured out on my own, thanks anyway.

Re: The URL bar doesn't work
If you found out exactly what caused the conflict always useful to let others know the details.
Bookmark backups are vital if you have as many as I have... and also worth using Moonchild's Pale Moon Profile Backup Tool as well: https://www.palemoon.org/backuptool.shtml
BTW - If you ever use CCleaner take care. Since CCleaner v5.92 issued on 11Apr22 a 'bookmarks backup' cleaner was added.
Look in CCleaner under 'Applications - Firefox' and make sure the 'Bookmarks Backup' item is not selected/ticked. If selected CCleaner will wipe the usual 10 bookmark backups automatically saved by Pale Moon and stored in the 'bookmarkbackups' folder in your Profile.

Re: The URL bar doesn't work
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in mind next time I use it.
