User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0
Steps to reproduce:
In a new or existing tab, press Ctrl+E.
Actual results:
If the URL bar is empty, it is populated with "? " and the cursor placed after the space. If the URL bar contains a URL or other text, the text is replaced by "? " and the cursor again placed after the space.
Expected results:
If there are contents in the URL bar, they should be selected and given focus, otherwise the cursor should be placed in the URL bar but the bar left empty. "? " only seems to force searching, i.e. it prevents suggestions from the user's browsing history, a useful functionality that Firefox is famous for.
This is a regression compared to Firefox 64 and prior versions. Settings that may be relevant to this behaviour: browser.search.suggest.enabled=false, browser.urlbar.suggest.searches=false.

I have experienced similar behavior but with different key combinations.
To reproduce:
Open a new tab.
Press ctrl-j or ctrl-k
If there is a web address in the status bar:
1)The status bar will clear
2)A '?' following by a space will appear.
