The awesome bar in FF4 does not displays the URL of the previous page visited not the current one.
The awesome bar used to display the URL of the page visited, since upgrading to FF 4 it no longer does so. It displays the URL of the first page visited say from a goodle search then if you navigate to another page or return to the search results it continues to display the old URL or no URL at all.

A couple of possible causes. There may be an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4 causing this. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
The URL not updating can also be caused if there is a problem with the file that stores browsing history and bookmarks. To see if this is the case, open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
Now close Firefox and rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.old. If there is a file called places.sqlite-journal you can delete it. Restart Firefox and it will re-create this file, importing the bookmarks from a backup, though browsing history will be lost. Now check to see if the URL changes.
