This is on macOS Sonoma 14.1.2.

If I copy/type anything into the address bar, and press enter, it disappears and the browser remains blank. As does: selecting any website from the address bar dropdown, opening any bookmark, or attempting to open any file. There is no error, so I'm at a loss how to debug this.

Firefox was working on Ventura. Repeatable with Firefox versions 120-115, have not gone back further. Neither troubleshoot mode nor deleting/rebooting/reinstalling changes anything.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
