Firefox 20 Company wide won't go to typed url or show search boxed results.

After installing FF20 on our corporate machines, we are getting these errors.

1) You can type an address into the address bar but hitting enter or the go-to button does not go-to to the address.

2) On the default FF search page, you can type into the search box, but hitting enter or clicking on the search button does nothing.

3) If you bring up the history window, you can double click any site and FF will open that site.


I tried disabling all Extensions and Add-ons to no avail. This is one at least 25 different computers for that many users...that I'm aware of, it could be more.

Are you using roaming profiles in a Windows server environment?

This seems to be associated with having the Firefox settings folder, which is part of the user's Windows profile, on a UNC path.

I don't know how soon a fix will be rolled out for this. Users who need Firefox right now could try rolling back to 19.0.2. Please note, I haven't tested that. This article has a link under "I still want to downgrade": Install an older version of Firefox.
