For as long as I can remember, I used to be able to paste a url anywhere into the Firefox window in order to navigate to the pasted url. This no longer works. Now I have to clear the address field, then paste into that field, then hit 'enter'.

Accidentially added data from my windows machine, but am talking about my linux machine.

btw, this paste-anywhere feature only ever worked for me under linux, never under windows.
