I updated today (2/14/2012) to v 10.0.1. Previously, when I used the "down arrow" in the location bar to select a website, the browser would automatically go to that site. This no longer happens.

Chosen solution

That issue can be caused by the AVG Safe Search extension

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
