How come the keyboard shortcut F6 that used to "Select Location Bar" doesn't work in the new Firefox 4?

There is a bug report about it not working when tabs are on top. You can use the keyboard shortcut Control+L to go to the address bar.
An alternative is to use the F6 add-on to restore this functionality - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/f6
Right on Tony.. I changed to tabs below like it used to be, which is the way I want it anyway since I usually run Winamp at the top which cover the tabs and F6 works now.. Thanks!
Dave, How do you move the tabs below?... That's been driving me crazy too!
Right-click on a toolbar, then click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.
F6 then Tab works - it's a shame there is an extra click for an old function, however, if we complain enough I'm sure it'll be changed, and that's better than having to download additional add-ons!
