Problem: Firefox doesn't show URL of Web site

Sometimes the URL of the site currently being viewed is not shown in the URL field of Firefox's Navigation Bar.
Instead the URL field contains only "Go to a Website"
The site's URL appears if I enable scripts for the site being viewed.
Since this often happens on sites that I've never visited before, having to enable scripting in order to see the site's URL seems very dangerous to me.

This problem seems to have started with Firefox V18. It happens in Firefox v18.0.1 (just updated) with NoScript v2.6.4.3.
I don't know if it's a problem in Firefox or NoScript.

An example of a site for which this happens is https://www.guenstiger.de/Test/Ausgabe/7568.html
(I was looking for some reviews of home Audio/Video equipment.)
Here's a screengrab showing the problem. This thumbnail links to a larger image.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

(I knew I should have asked at the time)

How to set so the URL shows in the status window

Thanks!

Fortunately, doing a Firefox Reset was sufficient. I didn't need to delete the whole profile, and I only had to re-install a few AddOns. Losing all of the "personal information" would have been very painful.
