Huh, that's curious. I'm running 69.0.2 on Ubuntu and it works just fine here.

browser.urlbar.filter.javascript is set to its default of true, I didn't touch that (or any other related settings as far as I remember).

Sorry, in that case I'm out of ideas as well.

Edit: Also works in a completely clean and new profile for me without any settings or addons whatsoever. Strange.

Thanks for your help. I just tried another test and installed the latest Firefox 70.0 on a clean Windows 7 machine and it does not work there either.

I also tried Ubuntu 19.04 with Firefox 69.0.2 and it does not work there either.

To be clear, pasting the javascript in a console tab of Developer Tools always works. It's only the url bar that seems to ignore javascript.

URL bar doesn't work for me either but saving it as a bookmark does. Here's a quick recording: https://cdn.baltpeter.io/tmp/firefox-bookmarklet.gif
