Steps to reproduce: * With the 2 June Nightly, create a new tab. * Start typing in awesome bar. Choose characters such that URL completion occurs and a selection list appears. * Click on a selection from the drop down list. * Verify the URL from the selected item appears in the awesome bar. * Press Enter. Expected: Visit the selected URL, as shown in the awesome bar. Actual: The URL from the URL completion step reappears in the awesome bar and that page is visited. I see this issue on Ubuntu, also seen on Windows (<http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12028013#p12028013>).
I just verified I get the same behavior with a new profile. Workaround: Hit the space bar between selecting the URL and pressing Enter.

We can back out the autocomplete controller changes only, right? That should fix this, so I think we should do that while we investigate further.
(and then retrigger nightlies)
I tried to retrigger nightlies, but I'm not sure whether I succeeded.
Looks like the nightly builds are running now.
nope, not yet.
Aurora and Nightly builds are fixed now, completely resolved.
