This is a very recent thing I’ve had happening, presumably since an update. I will often have multiple FF windows open. In one of the windows, I’ll suddenly not be able to place my cursor in the address bar on any tab. But other FF windows function fine. I have to close that window and start a new instance or drag a tab from a working window to another screen, then that will work fine for an unpredictable time.

I have no idea what specific thing I might be doing that touches this off, as far as I can tell I’m just browsing. I thought maybe I had a child dialog opening in a hidden window, but it must be hidden pretty good because I can’t find it if I do.

    F6 does get you into the address bar and you can type, but only on that tab and if you take the focus off, it’s still glitched. It doesn’t reset the bug like grabbing the tab and moving it will for the entire window. But still sorta helps.
