new url not displaying in location bar when clicking on a link

Firefox

This is a peculiar issue I have just noticed. Since upgrading to FF v4.0 RC1, It seems whenever I click on a link either in a webpage or in a google search (even opening a bookmarked link), when the new page opens, the url of the new page does not appear in the location bar. Instead, the previous page's url still shows in the location bar. Has anyone else noticed this?

Probably an extension incompatibility.

I just discovered it was because of the IE Tab extension. Removing that extension solved the problem.
