Has anyone had any issue with opening a new tab and the address bar not connecting to websites in 33.1.1?
I think ever since we moved to v33, I've been having an irritating issue that whenever I open a new tab that isn't connected to a website yet and try to enter a website address, it won't connect to ANY website. Doesn't matter if I hit Enter to try to make it go, doesn't matter if I click the right-pointing arrow button to make it go, doesn't work. I can go into a tab already connected to a website, type in a new website there and it'll create a new tab and take me to the new website, but not if I use new tab button.
Anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all exiting rules for firefox and let your security software detect the new version again: Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox
Sorry, that didn't help as I'm able to connect to websites, just not in a particular way.
For instance, I am able to type in and connect to websites IF the tab is already in use with a website (i.e. if I were to type "yahoo.com" in the address bar of this tab FF would open a new tab and take me to yahoo.com) but not when it is a completely new tab.
For further clarification, it's not that FF tries to connect and fails. It's that hitting the enter key or the right arrow in the address bar itself (which would normally cause FF to go look for that website address) just does nothing.
